Besides the standard service package of transporting and bunkering (black and clean) mineral products, we also offer bunkering services in Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Panama and Australia.
Our bunker vessels are equipped with specialized bunker booms, cargo heating systems, sampling and blending equipment and the latest gauging technology for cargo measurement. Furthermore, we were the world’s first company to introduce the Mass Flow Meter System. This system exactly measures the loaded and discharged volumes by mass measurement technology.
Biofuels are an ‘umbrella name’ for a wide variety of fuels that are made out of bio mass. Liquid renewables are mostly produced to replace fossil fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene.
Some examples of renewable biofuels are bio-ethanol, bionaphta, biodiesel, biobuthanol, biomethanol, bio-ETBE and synthetic biobenzine. Sustainability has become an integrated part of (our) modern business and renewable fuels are becoming a substitution for fossil fuels. Our modern and sophisticated fleet offers the best sustainable transporting solution for our clients.
