Vopak Horizon Fujairah has successfully completed its inaugural ISCC Certified bio-bunkering supply operations in the UAE, contributing to the nation’s Net Zero by 2050 strategy. This achievement represents a significant milestone in the maritime industry’s journey toward decarbonisation, promoting more sustainable fuel bunkering supply chain solutions.
Law Say Huat, general manager of Vopak Horizon Fujairah Limited, emphasised the importance of this operation, stating, “This operation represents a significant step in the decarbonisation of the supply chain. Our heartfelt thanks to the strong cooperation with all our valued partners.” The success of the biofuel bunkering initiative is attributed to the robust collaboration and commitment to operational excellence among all stakeholders involved.
Vopak currently operates 32 terminals within its global network that are ISCC certified for the storage of sustainable products, including sustainable aviation fuel and other biofuels and feedstocks. The recent operation utilised B24 bunker fuel, a blend consisting of 24 percent FAME mixed with Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil. This innovative biofuel option is designed to contain lower sulfur levels than traditional high-sulfur fuels, thereby reducing sulfur oxide emissions from vessels.
