Dutch maritime company Van Oord on Friday (16 August) said it achieved a milestone with the first delivery of biofuel for its flexible fallpipe vessel Stornes in Norway.
The delivery marked its first biofuel supply in Norway, expanding the company’s potential locations for more sustainable fuel use.
“The delivered biofuel is a B30 blend, consisting of 30% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and 70% marine gasoil (MGO),” the company said in a social media post.
“HVO is a high-quality, renewable diesel produced from waste materials, primarily used cooking oil, and certified under the ISCC scheme, ensuring its sustainability.”
The firm said the B30 blend has already resulted in a 26% reduction in CO2e emissions.
