The fuel is certified according to ISCC plus.

“We already have several interested clients, and we look forward to start delivering this product. This is one of many key steps in ScanOceans journey to build a portfolio of sustainable products and services. As we soon enter a new regulatory landscape in European shipping, reducing emissions at low cost will be key and we aim to provide the best solutions for this, and the DMA co-processed with renewable raw materials is an extremely attractive fuel in this respect” comments Jonatan Karlström of ScanOcean.

The Neste Marine 0.1 Co-processed DMA will also be available at the Södertälje ex-pipe facility together with DMA 0.1 and DMB 0.1, serving vessels in transit into Lake Mälaren.
