Scorpio Tankers Inc. and FOWE Eco Solutions have joined forces to bring a new era of sustainability to the maritime industry. The partnership aims to install FOWE’s emulsion bunker fuel system on Scorpio’s fleet of over 100 vessels, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel efficiency. The initiative, set to be completed by the end of 2024, represents a significant step towards a more sustainable future for the shipping sector.
At the core of the partnership is FOWE’s Cavitech device, which allows Scorpio vessels to produce emulsified bunkers on-board. This technology not only reduces the carbon footprint of maritime operations but also aligns with Scorpio’s sustainability strategy. Recent tests have shown that the use of emulsified fuel could lead to significant fuel consumption savings, with potential bunker savings of up to 10%.
Dean Mihalic, CEO of FOWE Eco Solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing its alignment with Scorpio’s commitment to sustainability. The collaboration represents a significant investment in sustainable technology and sets a new standard for environmental responsibility and economic efficiency in maritime operations. As the industry watches closely, this partnership serves as a beacon for other companies to follow suit in the quest for a greener future.
