United European Car Carriers (UECC) has completed the delivery of B30 biofuel in the port of Vlissingen, in collaboration with biofuel provider GoodFuels and vessel owner NYK.
This operation marks the first time a UECC time-chartered vessel, m/v Emerald Leader, has been bunkered with biofuel. The biofuel bunkering operation was made possible through a partnership between UECC, GoodFuels, and NYK.
GoodFuels delivered the B30 blend – 470 tonnes of VLSFO and sustainable biofuel – to UECC in the port of Vlissingen, Netherlands, on 27 May, 2023. NYK, the joint owner of UECC, provided technical support throughout the operation and is working closely with UECC to monitor the biofuel’s performance on m/v Emerald Leader.
The utilisation of biofuel on the Emerald Leader, which operates on UECC’s North South Trade, connecting the Eastern Mediterranean with Northern Europe, aims to significantly reduce carbon intensity. UECC, GoodFuels, and NYK will be gathering data and insights to further advance the use of sustainable biofuels in the maritime industry.
