RENEWABLE MARINE SOLUTIONS
Alongside our wholesale partner ESL Fuels, Standard Fuel Oils have developed a renewable fuel option for marine use in the UK.
Today, Standard supplied the first renewable blend bunkers to hybrid water injection dredger MAAS in Liverpool on behalf of long-standing customer Van Oord.
This renewable bunker supply complements the existing supply of AdBlue to this innovative vessel which is IMO TIER III compliant. Standard have been working with Van Oord to reach a suitable interim solution in achieving net zero for their client Peel Ports.
Dredging of the channel by Van Oord is a vital work which enables Peel Ports Liverpool2 terminal to receive post-Panamax vessels.
"The delivery of this renewable fuel blend is another step in the decarbonisation of our fleet. In addition to reducing the carbon footprint, this fuel also contributes to reducing local emissions. This delivery has become possible through collaboration between parties from the entire value chain."
“Although we have been supplying HVO to the motor transport industry for the last few years, supply into the marine market is a first for us and hopefully the first of many. Supplying a valued partner such as Van Oord with HVO for their vessel via our HVO-fuelled trucks shows the commitment of all parties to decarbonisation.”
