Bunker One expands ULSFO 0.10% bunker fuel supply across Northern Germany

Bunker One on Monday (20 April) said the company has strengthened its ULSFO 0.1% supply infrastructure across key German ports, expanding both availability and flexibility for customers seeking cost-effective compliance solutions.

The company said DMA has long been the default compliant fuel in Northern Germany to meet the 0.10% sulphur requirement. 

“While reliable, it has not always offered the most economical solution, and the limited availability of alternatives has reduced optionality for operators,” said Melchior Poszumski, Senior Physical Trader of Bunker One, in a statement. 

In Hamburg, ULSFO supply is supported by the bunker barge Uwe Deymann, with a capacity of 4,300 cbm and pumping rates of up to 1,000 cbm per hour. 

This setup ensures fast, efficient, and reliable deliveries, backed by a fully aligned supply chain covering sourcing, quality assurance, and streamlined operational processes.

As of 1 April, Bunker One also started offering its 0,10% S compliant products to the Weser River region, including ports such as Bremerhaven, Bremen, Brake, and Nordenham. The expansion enables the company to support both contract and spot enquiries, further improving accessibility to compliant fuel solutions in Northern Germany.

Operations in the Weser area are carried out by the bunker barge Antwerp with a capacity of 3,566 cbm and a pumping rate of up to 455 cbm per hour. She offers the option of supplying two different grades, providing shipowners and operators with increased flexibility to meet specific fuel requirements. 

Beyond German North Sea Ports, Bunker One’s current ULSFO setup in the Baltic region includes truck supply in Travemünde, ensuring continued coverage for vessels operating in the wider Northern European area.

China: CNOOC achieves over 200,000 m3 of bonded LNG bunkering volume in 2026 so far

CNOOC Gas and Power Group on Thursday (4 June) said its bonded LNG bunkering volume has exceeded 200,000 cubic metres (m³) so far this year.

CNOOC’s two LNG bunkering vessels have completed 138 LNG bunkering operations since their commissioning, serving 138 international vessels and bunkering over 770,000 m³ of LNG.

The company has the world’s largest LNG bunkering and transport vessel, Hai Yang Shi You 301, and China’s first LNG transport and bunkering vessel capable of operating in both river and sea all year round, Hai Yang Shi You 302

The firm added that it has achieved milestones in both terminal bunkering and anchorage bunkering modes.

CNOOC Gas and Power Group said bonded LNG bunkering at anchorages offers better compatibility with international shipping schedules and enables on-demand bunkering, offering significant advantages in terms of space allocation, cost control, resource utilisation, and operational efficiency.

On 20 May, the Hai Yang Shi You 301 successfully refuelled two international vessels with LNG at the South Cheung Chau Anchorage in Hong Kong, marking a new stage in Hong Kong’s LNG bunkering operations.

CNOOC said it is continuing to expand its LNG bunkering operations, building an LNG bunkering network in ports including Shenzhen, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Xiamen and other places.

Seascale Energy and LR Advisory team up on low-carbon bunker fuels and decarbonisation

Seascale Energy, a bunker procurement joint venture of Cargill’s Pure Marine Fuels and Hafnia’s Bunker Alliance, on Thursday (4 June) said it is continuing to strengthen its decarbonisation capabilities in response to the rapidly evolving fuel and regulatory landscape shaping global shipping.

Since its launch in May 2025, Seascale has facilitated several fuel transactions involving LNG, biofuels across various blends and green methanol demonstrating its ability to support customers beyond conventional bunker procurement, and also with emerging low- and zero-carbon fuel solutions.

To further reinforce this expertise, Seascale has entered into a strategic knowledge partnership with Lloyd’s Register Advisory (LR Advisory), focused on low-carbon fuels, FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, IMO decarbonisation measures and the practical commercial implications of the energy transition.

As part of the first phase of the collaboration, LR Advisory recently delivered two dedicated training workshops for global Seascale teams across in both Europe and Asia, bringing together commercial and operational colleagues in both Geneva and Singapore.

The sessions focused on the evolving regulatory framework, biofuels as marine fuels, FuelEU pooling strategies, chain-of-custody requirements, emissions accounting and future fuel readiness.

The workshops also explored the realities of sourcing and managing alternative fuels, including compliance documentation, lifecycle emissions reporting and commercial risk considerations associated with biofuel adoption and emerging fuel markets. Particular attention was given to the growing importance of FuelEU Maritime and EU ETS in shaping procurement strategies and voyage economics.

The collaboration forms part of Seascale’s broader ambition to provide its members with credible, technically grounded guidance as maritime faces increasingly complex environmental regulations and fuel pathways.

Looking ahead, Seascale and Lloyd’s Register Advisory are exploring opportunities to extend elements of this knowledge-sharing initiative externally through dedicated client webinars and market-focused sessions. The objective is to help customers better understand the operational, commercial and regulatory implications of the maritime energy transition while supporting informed fuel procurement and compliance strategies.

Separately, Seascale Energy and Lloyd’s Register are also collaborating on the Bunkering Services Initiative (BSI), a technology-enabled, independently audited framework that promotes transparency in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region.
