Stolt Tankers is set to use renewable biofuel on 30 of its ships from this month.
The company, part of Norway’s Stolt-Nielsen, said it will bunker all its Stolt-Nielsen Inland Tanker Service (SNITS) ships — more than 30 in total — with HVO20, a blend of 80% oil and 20% hydrotreated vegetable oil.
This is expected to reduce carbon emissions from the SNITS vessels by about 18% in December, compared to the ultra-low sulphur diesel (ULSD) fuel that is traditionally used.
