Biofuel milestone for Arkas Bunker
Arkas Bunker has supplied its eco-friendly biofuel, Bio24F, to Yang Ming’s YM Inventive, marking its first biofuel delivery to a shipowner outside Arkas Line. As Turkey’s first provider of biofuels to receive the international sustainability and carbon certification (ISCC), Arkas Bunker is leading the way in reducing maritime carbon emissions.
Bio24F, a blend of 24% used cooking oil and 76% very low sulfur fuel oil, significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, supporting shipowners in their efforts to achieve their sustainability goals.
The delivery at Kumport follows Arkas Bunker’s initial biofuel supply to its own vessel, "Matilde A", in May 2024. The initiative reflects Arkas Bunker’s commitment to cleaner seas and its support for sustainable shipping practices. The company aims to expand its biofuel offerings, helping more shipowners transition to low-emission solutions. (pb)
