In Sweden, Bunker One Sweden added Sagafjord to its fleet under long-term charter, expanding bunkering operations across Sweden, Denmark, and the wider Northern European region.
“Sagafjord offers greater flexibility with her large cargo capacity, excellent condition, and strong maneuverability,” said Petter Jonason, COO of Bunker One Sweden. He added that the vessel “shortens mooring times, improves efficiency, and is technically equipped to handle both conventional fuels and alternatives.”
The vessel, a chemical tanker built in 2005, is already compatible with biofuels and methanol and can be modified to handle ammonia. “Customer expectations are evolving, and alternative fuels are gaining ground,” Jonason said. “Sagafjord is a strong example” of the company’s strategy to invest in tonnage that meets current operational demands while preparing for next-generation fuels.
Integrating the vessel required “skilled crew, licenses, and pilot exemptions,” with additional training and technical adjustments needed to accommodate alternative fuels.
“Sweden has a strong bunkering tradition and is leading on green shipping initiatives,” Jonason said.
