Bunker One Sweden on Friday (26 September) announced it is strengthening its fleet with the long-term charter of chemical tanker Sagafjord, entering service this month.
Petter Jonason, COO of Bunker One Sweden, said the new addition shortens mooring times, improves efficiency, and is technically equipped to handle both conventional fuels and alternatives.
“This means customers across Sweden and Northern Europe can count on reliable supply today, with readiness for tomorrow’s fuels like biofuels, methanol, and ammonia,” he said on the company’s website.
He said the tanker strengthens its regional network across Germany, the UK, Denmark, and Sweden, while primarily operating from Sweden and Denmark.
“Flexibility is at the core of our growth strategy, investing in vessels that serve current demand and are prepared for future fuels. Sagafjord is a strong example of that approach,” he said.
As a chemical tanker, Jonason said Sagafjord is already suited for biofuels and methanol, and can adapt for ammonia with the right approvals.
“This makes her an ideal vessel for supporting customers’ decarbonisation journeys while ensuring our operations remain future-ready,” it said.
He noted that Sweden has a strong bunkering tradition and is leading on green shipping initiatives.
“Sagafjord enhances our ability to supply both traditional and alternative fuels, supporting this transition. For us, it’s a clear signal: Bunker One is here for the long term, investing in a modern, versatile fleet to serve customers today and tomorrow.”
