With its new long-term charter of bunker tanker MT NORE, Bunker One said it will cater for future methanol bunkering in and around Scandinavian waters and the Northwest European region.<\/p>\n
\u201cGothenburg, Skaw and the entire Scandinavian region is one of our most important bunkering hubs with significant vessel traffic passing through the area,\u201d said Peter Zachariassen, CEO of Bunker One.<\/p>\n
\u201d..so to start building the infrastructure and have it in place is going to send a strong signal to our customers that if they bet on building ships powered by carbon emissions reducing products, we will be ready to supply them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fuel provision<\/strong><\/p>\n MT NORE, which as of May 2023, received all bunkering permits and certifications for operating in the region, is the fourth bunker tanker in Bunker One Sweden\u2019s fleet.<\/p>\n Being ready to supply alternative products in Scandinavia marks a significant event for the rest of the maritime industry. However, with some shipping and logistics companies still in the planning phase of investing in new ships with alternative engine fuel, the possibility of bunkering methanol is extremely valuable in terms of assisting them in their decision-making process.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though many of our customers are not ready to bunker methanol today will not hold us back,\u201d said Mr Zachariassen.<\/p>\n \u201cPurchasing new fleets with alternative fuel as propulsion is a daring investment to ship owners, but we firmly believe that if we build the infrastructure, they will have one less thing to hold them back,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n MT NORE will serve as a multi-fuel bunkering tanker with 3,500-tonne storage, which can be split with different products among its tank pairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fuel supplier Bunker One has launched its first methanol-ready bunker tanker in the\u00a0strait between Denmark and Sweden allowing for last-mile refuelling of ships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,46],"tags":[40,1050,1051,264,780,47,814],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-alternative-fuels-greenport","category-energy-technology-greenport","tag-alternative-fuels","tag-bunker-anker","tag-bunker-one","tag-bunkering","tag-gothenburg","tag-methanol","tag-sweden"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3386,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3384\/revisions\/3386"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3384"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
