Wagenborg’s vessels complete transatlantic voyage

Royal Wagenborg said one of its F-class vessels recently completed the firm’s first transatlantic voyage sailing on bio-bunkers.

The company said the shipment, requested by one of its customers, illustrated the ease to switch to the drop-in biofuel bunkers, resulting in a 68% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions on the voyage.

The firm said its entire fleet of MPP vessels is able to bunker the ISO 8217 compliant co-processed marine fuel, since no investment in onboard equipment is required to use this sustainable drop-in marine fuel.

The fuel is produced using ISCC PLUS certified raw materials, such as vegetable oils, used cooking oil, or animal fat, which may reduce GHG emissions up to 80% over the lifecycle, when compared to fossil fuels.
