Svitzer is proud to partner with SOHAR Port to introduce biofuel bunkering for tugboat operations in the Middle East. Following a pilot program using B20 biofuel (a blend of 80% diesel and 20% biofuel), we're thrilled to report that the positive results of the trial have paved the way for an ambitious plan to expand biofuel bunkering to all tugs operating at SOHAR Port.

Say hello to Emily Reeves and Thomas Schrum. They’re two of the tremendously talented students who are currently writing up their bachelor's project or master thesis while partnering with Svitzer. Both Emily and Thomas are exploring new ways to potentially reduce our fuel and carbon emissions to make Svitzer’s daily operations even more sustainable in line with our long-term decarbonisation targets.  As part of her BSc in Sustainable Maritime Operations at the University in Plymouth, Emily is investigating if methanol-fueled vessels are a viable option for our fleet on the river Humber in the UK. Thomas is exploring potential fuel and emission reductions from the use of hybrid or even fully electric tugs in the operation of a large container port as part of his bachelor’s in Technology Management and Marine Engineering. Best of luck to you both, Emily and Thomas. These are such cool research projects, and we’re happy to support your studies.   #svitzer #decarbonisation
