Glander International Bunkering on Wednesday (11 October) said it teamed up with Spain’s bunker and biofuel supplier Cepsa to supply bio bunker fuel to an asphalt tanker in Algeciras anchorage.
A total of 347 metric tonnes (mt) of B24 FAME / FO blend was supplied to MT Bitu Atlantic, a 50, 805DWT asphalt tanker for Rubis Group in Algeciras anchorage.
The operation was a collaborative effort between the Dubai and Valencia teams at Glander International Bunkering, together with Cepsa. The product was a second generation advanced biofuel manufactured from waste-based feedstock.
“The landmark delivery marks the French stock-listed asphalt tanker company’s first-ever biofuel supply, signaling to shareholders its positioning as a frontrunner in the green transition,” the firm said.
Dimitris Mertikas, Key Account Manager in Dubai, said: “We take immense pride in our client’s achievement and we are pleased to be entrusted with this project. Biofuel is no longer a future fuel; it is here today.”
“More companies are expected to follow suit for their first biofuel supply, and we stand ready to support them.”
Glander International Bunkering also provides biofuel in other global ports, with ISCC EU and ISCC Plus certificates in its Valencia, Tønsberg, Geneva, Dubai and Singapore offices.
