ScanOcean AB and Neste have strengthened their cooperation in the sale and distribution of low-sulphur marine fuels for the Swedish market.

At the end of June, ScanOcean will be adding Neste MGO DMA - part of the Neste Marine 0.1 product range - to its market offering, alongside Neste MDO DMB, which ScanOcean has been selling since it was selected as a reseller for Neste's 0.1-percent-sulphur marine fuels towards the end of 2018.

Neste MGO DMA will be available at the Södertälje bunker station, where ScanOcean has been supplying Neste's DMB product ex-pipe for more than two years. The facility serves vessels also in transit into Lake Mälaren.

In addition to ex-pipe DMB deliveries, ScanOcean has been supplying the entire East Middle Sweden region via truck from Neste's terminal in Södertälje, located around 30 kilometres southwest of Stockholm.

And the newly bolstered logistical setup means that truck deliveries of MGO DMA will now also be made to ships in the Greater Stockholm area.

"We are pleased to continue our long-term partnership with ScanOcean with an updated product portfolio. With our high-quality marine fuels distributed by ScanOcean, we will continue to ensure the reliable and solid performance of vessels," commented Sveta Ukkonen, Head of Marine Fuels at Neste.

"MGO 0.1% is the most widely used marine fuel in European waters with excellent compatibility features that can be easily blended with renewable fuel components. We are working towards our goal of introducing renewable and sustainable marine fuels to the Swedish market," added Jonatan Karlström, Managing Director of ScanOcean.
