Norwegian Cruise Line’s “Norwegian Dawn” received a GoodFuels B30 sustainable biofuel blend while docked at the IJmuiden Cruise Terminal in the Netherlands.
The GoodFuels B30 was supplied by FincoEnergies in partnership with KPI OceanConnect, and this biofuel adoption marks an important step toward decarbonising in the cruise line’s operations.
It was mentioned that the B30 biofuel blend, produced exclusively from feedstocks certified as 100% waste and residues, offers a sustainable alternative that avoids competition with food resources.
The “Norwegian Dawn” by choosing GoodFuels’ sustainable biofuel can achieve up to 80-90% reduction in lifecycle CO₂ emissions compared to traditional marine diesel, requiring no engine modifications to realise these benefits, as GoodFuels informs.
Mayu Kubo, commercial manager, Marine Biofuels at FincoEnergies, said that “We’re excited to support Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in their move toward cleaner cruising. By choosing sustainable biofuels, they’re driving down emissions and setting a strong example for the cruise industry.”
This initiative aligns with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd’s ‘Sail and Sustain’ programme, which advocates for the use of renewable fuels across 40% of its fleet.
