Vitol UAE bunker
Dec 19 (LNGJ) - Vitol, the global commodities firm and LNG player, has completed an inaugural biofuel delivery in the United Arab Emirates. The delivery took place in Fujairah in the northeast of the UAE and the only one of seven emirates with a coastline solely on the Gulf of Oman. “Vitol has successfully completed its first biofuel deliveries in Fujairah, demonstrating its ongoing commitment to sustainable fuel solutions,” said Vitol.
“Through its wholly-owned bunker arm, Vitol Bunkers, two vessels received B24 VLSFO on December 8 and December 14,” said Vitol. The fuel was sourced from its Fujairah-based refinery FRL and blended with regionally-sourced biofuel at storage facilities. “Certified biofuels are expected to play a key role in helping the hard-to-abate maritime sector to decarbonise and reduce greenhouse gas emissions on a well-to-wake basis,” added Vitol.
