Vopak Horizon Fujairah Limited successfully completed the company’s first ISCC Certified bio-bunkering supply operations in the UAE, supporting the country’s net-zero by 2050 strategy.
This marks a significant milestone in advancing the maritime industry’s decarbonisation journey by fostering more sustainable fuel bunkering supply chain solutions.
The success of this biofuel bunkering is driven by the solid collaboration and focus on operations excellence with all the partners involved. Currently, Vopak has 32 terminals within its global network ISCC certified to store sustainable products like sustainable aviation fuel and other biofuels and feedstocks.
This operation involved the supply of B24 bunker fuel, a blend of 24% of FAME with Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil. Biofuels contain less sulphur than traditional high-sulphur fuels, thus reducing sulphur oxide emissions from ships.
