Big Bunker Business News!  Vitol Bunkers goes digital for their bunker barges with ZeroNorth’s eBDN solution. Their 12 barges operating in Singapore go live on 12 July, in line with MPA's initiative to be a digital bunker port. ZeroNorth is pleased to support both Vitol's and MPA’s ambitions with our eBDN solution, now with commitments from 98 barges globally. Speaking about this, Rishab Bahl, Managing Director at V-Bunkers, added: “Adopting ZeroNorth’s eBDN solution has marked a step change in our bunker delivery processes. Aligned with our objective to reduce emissions through greater operational efficiencies, it will allow us to optimise our operations and enhance collaboration with bunker buyers, allowing all stakeholders to minimise costs, achieve greater data accuracy and avoid delays. “We believe the roll-out of eBDN in Singapore and globally will be an accelerant for identifying further opportunities to digitalise critical information about the fuel. In the years to come the regulatory requirements including proof of sustainability will put significant administrative burdens on both the buyer and the suppliers; here eBDN can play a valuable role.” And Mr Yi Han Ng, Director (Innovation, Technology & Talent Development) at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), said: "Digital bunkering can boost the efficiency and transparency of the bunkering process in Singapore. Since the launch of the digital bunkering initiative last November, the MPA is encouraged to see more licensed bunker suppliers, ship owners, and operators, including Vitol Bunkers, adopting digital bunkering solutions. Using whitelisted solutions, including ZeroNorth’s solution, to complete and issue digital bunkering documents can help save many man-days per year, which companies can redirect to other value-added work.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/guTbVHKx #Digitalization #eBDN #Bunker #Optimization #Announcement

Ode to FuelEU There was a plan, No ordinery plan, Sustainability plan, Well known, almost Well to tank, yes of course, Tank to wake, sure it is, Well to wake, exactly. No matter of time, Don't care of verifier, Of course if it is NAB Authorised one, Polish, German or UKAS, Do not care, but take care Of your everyday partner. Who is your partner, Who knows you better Than you do, yes it's true, Only classificator do. Do inspections, Do documents verification, Do postponements if it have to, Do TAC, yes for sure, but One which cannot be done is Development of FuelEU plan. It can be assessed, if it is OK, Can be rejected if it is not true, Regulation 2023/1805 will be Your torch and PRS will light up Your mind to be up to date for 31 of August 2024, hurry up, Don't look back, step forward. 2030 is coming to town, SSE for passenger ships, Between 2030 and 2035 Ports not covered by AFIR, Don't be afraid, be prepared. Better to know and take care, Rather to wait and be scared. We know each other, we know That you know that going beyond Will be the point. Not of view, but The clue of alternatives fuels. Be the part of history, make it, Give it a chance for some romance, Fossil fuels don't look back, Lett them burn, or better stay as they are.

Scaling Up: Kawasaki & McDermott to Revolutionize Liquid Hydrogen Supply Chain Key Points: - Kawasaki and McDermott are partnering to create the world's first commercial-scale liquid hydrogen (LH2) supply chain. - The project will enable large-scale LH2 production, transportation, and storage, crucial for hydrogen adoption. - This partnership addresses key logistical challenges in the global hydrogen supply network. - Kawasaki brings expertise in LH2 technologies, while McDermott adds engineering and project execution capabilities. - The initiative is vital for decarbonizing industries and advancing the hydrogen economy worldwide. https://lnkd.in/gxQbKBAf #HydrogenEconomy #LiquidHydrogen #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #Decarbonization #LH2SupplyChain #Kawasaki #McDermott #HydrogenStorage #GreenTech #HydrogenTransport #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #FutureEnergySolutions

ZeroNorth and Vitol launch digital bunker trial in Port of Rotterdam.   In a four-week trial using ZeroNorth’s electronic bunker delivery note solution, the parties seek to enhance efficiency and transparency while establishing a foundation for digitalising bunker operations in Europe’s largest bunker hub. This follows the parties’ work in Singapore, where Vitol Bunkers, in close collaboration with ZeroNorth, became one of the first to adopt eBDN under Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA)’s approval. “Transparency and efficiency in the bunker sector are crucial to the success of shipping’s energy transition. While the digitalisation of the bunker industry is gathering pace, significant opportunities to reduce operational costs and improve transparency in fuel transactions remain untapped. We’re thrilled to partner with Vitol to conduct this trial in Europe’s most important bunkering hub. This initiative is an important step forward and has the potential to serve as a catalyst for the widespread adoption of eBDN across the industry,” says Kenneth Juhls, Senior VP and Global Head of Customer Success at ZeroNorth.

Many thanks to Wiebke Buch and Niklas Norén working together to bring digitalisation to the Port of Rotterdam after the successful introduction of E-BDN at the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). The world is getting complicated and bunkering is rapidly evolving - the digital connection is essential for understanding emissions on vessels to streamline data collection as we navigate the increasingly complicated regulatory environment. Once FuelEU Maritime comes in from 2025, certified biofuels will be a prevalent way to comply with the regulation and the increase in documentary sustainability certification required means the industry needs e-BDN, MFM, and better streamlined systems. And we will save some time too. #FuelEUMaritime #2025 #decarbonisation #vitolbunkers #e-BDN #PortofRotterdam #ZeroNorth #shipping #vitol

The transportation market in Q2 2024 is marked by declining used truck values, weak freight rates, and an oversupply of inventory. While there are some positive indicators in new truck orders, the overall market remains challenging, particularly for small operators. This Hilco Global update offers insights into new truck pricing, depreciation rates, and detailed analysis of dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds. Amidst economic uncertainties and high operational costs, the industry faces a difficult environment.
