Glander International Bunkering on Wednesday (26 March) said it facilitated two consecutive BioLNG deliveries this month for Neste’s LNG-fuelled tanker fleet.
During both bunkering operations – one in Antwerp, Belgium and the other in Hamina, Finland – bio-LNG was supplied to reduce the carbon footprint of the vessels, which would otherwise run on fossil LNG.
Alvaro Sierra, Sales Manager at Glander International Bunkering, said: “These deliveries were particularly significant, as we successfully coordinated both supplies at different locations on short notice while ensuring all necessary certifications were in place.”
“It was a demanding operation that required precision, expertise, and strong collaboration, and we successfully delivered.”
To make efficient use of the existing European-wide distribution networks, which are predominantly transporting fossil products, a mass balancing approach was applied, verifying that the agreed upon volume of bio-LNG has been used to replace fossil LNG.
Sander Wilgenhof, Head of Shipping at Neste, said: “Sea transports are one of the most efficient ways to transport our raw materials and refined fuels – and bio-LNG is one of the alternative fuels which allows us to reduce the carbon footprint of our logistics,” he said.
