This week at the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show, NMMA was joined by several local and international government agency representatives to demo sustainable marine fuels. During the event, Suzuki Marine USA, LLC showed PURFUELS in action and a Volvo Penta ran on renewable diesel from Neste. Both fuels are 100% drop-in, meaning these high-quality, high-performance sustainable marine fuels require no changes or modifications to the current boat, engine, or fuel system. Sustainable marine fuels are a critical part of #PropellingOurFuture, a global industry effort to provide guidance and resources that will help ensure the long-term resilience of the recreational #boating industry. We are looking forward to continuing the momentum in collaboration with our members and partners. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e_fHTx5A #DBMIBS2025 #MiamiBoatShow #BoatShows #RecreationalBoating Jeff Wasil
