Image for representation purposes only<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nVopak Horizon Fujairah has completed its first bio-bunker fuel supply operation in the United Arab Emirates. The joint-venture terminal, operated by Vopak (VOPA.AS), supplied B24 bunker fuel, a blend containing 24% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) and Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO).<\/p>\n
This biofuel meets the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) standards and is designed to reduce sulfur emissions and promote environmentally friendly shipping.<\/p>\n
Vopak did not disclose the names of the companies involved in this operation due to commercial sensitivity.<\/p>\n
Biofuels like FAME-blended fuel help shipping industry cut emissions. Companies are reducing sulfur oxides and greenhouse gas emissions by blending biofuels with conventional fuels like VLSFO, making maritime operations more sustainable.<\/p>\n
The ISCC certification ensures that these fuels meet the highest sustainability standards and contribute to international environmental compliance, including the IMO 2020 sulfur cap regulations.<\/p>\n
Currently, Vopak operates 32 terminals globally that are ISCC certified, allowing for the storage of sustainable fuels such as biofuels and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).<\/p>\n
Vopak is ensuring that vessels passing through one of the world\u2019s busiest shipping lanes have access to cleaner energy alternatives.<\/p>\n
Fujairah is the world\u2019s third-largest bunkering port and a strategic refueling point for international shipping. Its location along major trade routes and advanced storage infrastructure make it a crucial player in the global fuel supply chain.<\/p>\n
