Neste to Distribute Low-Sulfur Bunker Fuel in Sweden form January 1, 2017
Finland's Neste Corporation (Neste) today announced it will begin the distribution of low-sulfur bunker fuel in Sweden at the Södertälje terminal on January 1, 2017.
The company says it will primarily serve Metropolitan Stockholm, but it will also supply low-sulfur bunker fuel elsewhere on the Eastern coast of Sweden, if necessary.
"We are extremely happy to open low-sulfur bunker fuel distribution services in Sweden at the turn of the year. To us, this means expanding the market area of marine fuels, and we will also continue to survey new markets in Northern Europe," says Matti Lehmus, Executive Vice President, Oil Products at Neste.
"Our marine fuels are a good solution to reduce sulfur emissions and meet the tightening regulations, and using them requires hardly any investments or modifications to the vessels."
Currently, Neste offers two marine fuels with a sulfur content of less than 0.1 percent - Neste MDO DMB and Neste RMB - and says that in Sweden it will be selling its RMB product from tank trucks.
