In Ireland, Peninsula said it has completed its first sustainable biofuel delivery to DS NORDEN.
Peninsula’s BIO blend (VLSFO B24) was derived from used cooking oil (UCO) and delivered by the chemical tanker, Hercules Sky, one of the latest vessels to join the Peninsula fleet. The receiving vessel was NORDEN’s 62,594 dwt bulk carrier, La Luna.
John Bassadone, Peninsula’s CEO said: “Biofuel adds another lower carbon option to Peninsula’s diversified product offering and marks a further significant step towards our collective transition to a zero carbon future.”
Nacho de Miguel, Peninsula’s Head of Sustainability added: “Peninsula will focus its Biofuels supply in key ports where sufficient critical mass exists. The Mediterranean is a key region for global shipping, and the Gibraltar Strait enjoys an excellent strategic vantage point to capture the inevitable, imminent increase in Biofuel demand.
