Sprague Operating Resources to supply Staten Island Ferry with renewable diesel

In New York state, Sprague Operating Resources LLC has been selected by the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) to supply renewable diesel (RD) for its marine fleet, including the iconic Staten Island Ferry. This significant contract marks a major step in New York City’s plan, announced in October 2024, to transition its marine vessels to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emission fuels.

By changing their fuels to RD, the busiest municipal ferry system in the Nation will immediately lower lifecycle GHG emissions (up to 60 percent) as it carries over 24 million passengers each year.
