ScanOcean and Vegoil have launched a transformative initiative in marine transport by successfully bunkering the vessel Key Fjord with a groundbreaking B30-DMA fuel, blending renewable RME from Energifabriken.
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.
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.
..Lars Lövsund of ScanOcean AB stated.
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.”
To remind, earlier this year, ScanOcean teamed up with Lakeway Link, to utilize a new marine fuel, B15-DMA, which contains 15% renewable content.
