Marine fuel supplier Bunker One has entered into a partnership to provide fossil-free hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) biodiesel for Denmark-based ferry operator Molslinjen’s Fanølinjen ferry link.
This new collaboration is expected to cut down CO₂ emissions by up to 90%.
The product was trialled in the engines of the M/F Fenja and M/F Menja earlier this year.
Both of these ferries sail between Esbjerg, on the Danish mainland, and the island of Fanø.
Bunker One and Molslinjen signed a long-term supply agreement after the ‘successful’ completion of the trial period.
Molslinjen CEO Carsten Jensen said: “It is our aim to operate ferries that no longer emit CO₂ on their routes. Even though it’s just the beginning, we are happy to now have reached the phase of testing HVO biodiesel for one of our ferry routes, as it’s a step in the right direction towards our ambition of transitioning to sustainable fuels.”
