Nordic biomethane company St1 Biokraft on Monday (22 June) said it is supplying liquefied biogas (bio-LNG) to Destination Gotland’s ferry operations during the summer and Almedalen Week 2026. 

This is the first time St1 Biokraft has supplied Destination Gotland, and the first time the company can supply a share of Swedish-produced biogas to shipping and to Destination Gotland.

Through the delivery, St1 Biokraft is beginning a collaboration with Destination Gotland and taking an important step in supplying Swedish-produced liquefied biogas to shipping. The delivery corresponds to renewable fuel for around 30 one-way crossings between Visby and Nynäshamn, of which a share is Swedish-produced biogas. The Swedish-produced part corresponds to around 10 crossings.

“We are pleased to begin this new collaboration with Destination Gotland, and it is particularly positive that part of the volume is Swedish-produced. This is a milestone for us, as it is the first time we can supply biogas to shipping in the Baltic Sea. Swedish production capacity is still being built up, but our ambition is to increase our own capacity so that, in future, we can supply only Swedish gas to this type of customer,” said Sohrab Moshiri, Head of Sales, St1 Biokraft.

“We are continuously working to reduce emissions from our operations, and we are very pleased to have purchased large volumes of BioLNG ahead of Almedalen Week and the summer season. It is especially positive that a large share of the order is Swedish-produced, thereby contributing to a local supply for our energy needs,” said Adam Jacobsson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Destination Gotland.

The delivery is being carried out in cooperation with Avenir, which is responsible for bunkering the vessels in the port of Visby. Bio-LNG is produced from organic residual materials from society and can be used as a renewable alternative in areas such as heavy transport, industry and shipping.

Sulnox Group plc (Sulnox) on Monday (22 June) announced the signing of its largest commercial agreement to date with Singapore-based shipping firm Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS). 

The new four-year agreement will significantly expand deployment of Sulnox Eco™ across the EPS fleet, increasing usage from approximately 30 vessels to more than 50 vessels. The agreement covers the supply of approximately 1.2 million litres of Sulnox Eco over the contract term and is accompanied by an increase in EPS Ventures’ strategic investment in Sulnox.

The agreement follows more than two years of operational deployment and validation across a range of vessel types, including container ships, bulk carriers, tankers and vehicle carriers. During this period, EPS reported fuel savings of between 3% and 5%, alongside reductions in visible black smoke emissions, cleaner engine conditions, lower sludge generation and improved fuel performance.

With a history spanning more than 60 years, EPS manages a fleet of more than 350 vessels across the container, tanker, dry bulk, gas and vehicle carrier sectors and has a global workforce of approximately 8,000. 

Since commencing its partnership with Sulnox, EPS has steadily expanded deployment of Sulnox Eco across its fleet and supported a range of technical validation initiatives. Among these was independent testing commissioned by EPS, which demonstrated lubricity improvements of between 20% and 23% in Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil (LSMGO). The results provided additional evidence of Sulnox Eco’s ability to address lubricity challenges associated with lower-sulphur fuels while supporting engine protection and operational reliability.

As biofuel adoption continues to accelerate across the shipping industry, EPS has also reported positive results from the use of Sulnox Eco alongside biofuel blends. Operational experience and independent testing have indicated benefits relating to fuel stability, lubricity and engine cleanliness, helping support reliable vessel operations while optimising fuel performance. The wider fleet deployment will include newbuilds, reflecting confidence in Sulnox Eco’s ability to deliver operational benefits across both existing and newly delivered vessels.

The agreement also strengthens the strategic collaboration between the two companies. EPS will continue to support Sulnox’s research, development and validation programmes through operational testing and real-world deployment. Areas of collaboration are expected to include fuel efficiency optimisation, emissions reduction, biofuel performance and other technologies designed to support the maritime industry’s decarbonisation efforts.

Alongside the supply agreement, EPS Ventures will increase its strategic investment in Sulnox through the subscription of additional shares under the agreement. Subject to the relevant conditions being met, EPS Ventures’ shareholding is expected to increase from approximately 6.5% to 13.9%. The increased investment further aligns the interests of both organisations and reflects EPS’s confidence in Sulnox’s technology, commercial potential and long-term relevance to the maritime sector.

Ben Richardson, CEO of Sulnox, commented: “EPS has already proven to be much more than a customer. Its operational validation, technical expertise and industry introductions have helped accelerate our commercial development and strengthen our position within the global shipping sector.

“Moving from a successful evaluation programme and initial deployment to a major long-term agreement and increased shareholding endorses the value Sulnox Eco continues to deliver in real-world operations. We look forward to continuing to work closely with EPS as we expand adoption across the maritime sector and develop the next generation of efficiency and decarbonisation technologies.”

Sachin Saharawat, Technical Director, EPS, said: “Improving efficiency and reducing emissions remain key priorities for EPS. Over the past two years, Sulnox Eco has demonstrated measurable benefits across multiple vessel types, fuel applications and operating environments. Across different vessel segments and fuel types, we have observed consistent improvements in fuel performance, engine cleanliness and operational efficiency. 

“The expanded deployment reflects our confidence in the results achieved to date and our belief that practical, scalable technologies such as Sulnox Eco can play an important role in helping the shipping industry improve efficiency and support its decarbonisation ambitions.”

Bunker Holding’s physical supply division, Bunker One, on Monday (22 June) said it has positioned a dedicated supply barge in the Port of Aberdeen’s South Harbour, with operations commencing in July 2026.

The company said the addition of this unit strengthens its supply position in Aberdeen and provides customers with reliable access to Marine Gas Oil (MGO) through a dedicated physical presence in the harbour.

“South Harbour continues to play an increasingly important role in regional maritime activity,” the company said.

“Establishing local supply capability enhances security of supply, increases operational flexibility, and enables a more responsive service for customers operating in the area.”

Bunker One added that this investment forms part of its ongoing strategy to strengthen physical supply capabilities across key locations and ensure dependable fuel availability where it matters most.
