Shipping company NORDEN and shipowner Spar Shipping recently bunkered approximately 1100 tonnes of biofuel at GoodFuels in Rotterdam used on two voyages bound for Asia and Africa respectively, according to the former on Tuesday (28 March).
The bunkering of 1,100 metric tonnes (mt) of biofuel is the first biofuel bunkering by NORDEN on chartered vessels, marking an important milestone in its commitment to offer greener shipping solutions to its customers.
Henrik Røjel, Head of Decarbonisation & Climate Solutions at NORDEN, said: “At NORDEN, we consider biofuel a key transition fuel on our journey to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and we are therefore pleased that a shipowner like Spar Shipping is equally keen to partner with us in accelerating the usage of biofuel in the maritime industry to the benefit of our customers and society at large.”
Jarle Ellefsen, CEO of Spar Shipping AS, said: “For Spar Shipping AS it is very much a question of being able to facilitate the use of sustainable biofuel onboard the vessels, to gain experience and to push the comfort zone in a deliberate manner. It is very much greenfield work, and it is in our interest to participate to create a well-functioning market for sustainable biofuel where both availability and low cost is addressed through economies of scale. What is not affordable is not sustainable either. To this end, we are all influencers these days.”
