Stena Bulk offers low-carbon shipping options for its customers, says a press release published on their website.

Low-carbon shipping options 

Stena Bulk has introduced low-carbon shipping options for its customers, after its successful biofuel trial in April. 

According to Stena Bulk, the trans-Atlantic voyage trial was conducted with 100% waste-based biofuel. This proved the technical and operational feasibility of using such fuels in regular tanker operations.

Range of low-carbon shipping options

The range of low-carbon shipping options Stena Bulk offers its customers are from 20% to 100% biofuels. This will be based on an offsetting program in which the biofuel will be used within its fleet. 

  • This allows customers to make use of low-carbon shipping options regardless of fuel availability on the specific route, and 
  • also ensures that operation is performed without any disturbance to the shipment.

Erik Hånell, President and CEO of Stena Bulk said, “Performing according to our customers’ expectations is our highest priority, and this setup allows us to continue to do that while also offering a service. It will be one way to take actions in meeting future requirements. This type of fuel is one step in many combined sustainable solutions that needs to be considered and can be used today.”

Environmental footprint 

The low-carbon shipping option from Stena Bulk comes in line with its ambition to reduce the environmental footprint of tanker operations through innovation.

According to Hanell, “We need to come together as an industry to find solutions that comply with future legislation.” 

He added that working together, sharing experiences, risks and inspiring each other, targets can be met to make shipping continue remain the most efficient and sustainable mode of transportation.
