ScanOcean and Vegoil are at the forefront of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from marine transports with their groundbreaking collaboration. Recently, the vessel Key Fjord, transporting renewable products, was successfully bunkered with a B30-DMA fuel containing renewable feedstock of RME from Energifabriken in the port of Oskarshamn on 2024-07-19.
This successful bunkering operation marks the start of a significant partnership between ScanOcean and Vegoil, aiming to leverage Swedish-produced RME as renewable feedstock for drop-in blends in marine fuels.
The B30-DMA fuel, based on RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester), is certified according to ISCC-EU standards. This fuel not only supports the reduction of GHG emissions, in compliance with EU ETS obligations, but also significantly enhances the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and Clean Shipping Index (CSI) scores for vessels.
Lars Lövsund of ScanOcean AB stated, “We are thrilled to partner with Vegoil in launching this innovative marine fuel. The green transition requires visionary companies to lead the charge, and we are proud to be part of this pioneering step.”
Christopher Thelin of Vegoil added, “Together with ScanOcean, we are committed to demonstrating that sustainable shipping is not just a future goal but a present reality. We hope to inspire other ship and cargo owners to take similar steps towards reducing GHG emissions. We are also excited to offer our customers maritime transportation with renewable fuels, reinforcing our commitment to a renewable society.”
Sigbjørn Tysse of Seatank Chartering commented, “We are proud to operate Key Fjord and support this innovative initiative. By adopting renewable marine fuels, we are setting a new standard for sustainable shipping solutions. Additionally, our certification according to ISO-14001-2015 underscores our dedication to environmental management and sustainability.”
