Fuel deliveries with the bunkering vessel Lotus have been fast, safe and on time,” says Captain Tarvi-Carlos Tuulik, Head of Ship Management at AS Tallink Grupp.

Neste’s low-sulfur marine fuels comply with the requirements of the EU Sulphur Directive, which came into force at the beginning of 2015. Its goal is to reduce sulfur emissions from marine traffic in Europe and in the Emission Control Area that covers the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, and the English Channel. Neste provides low-sulfur marine fuels in all major ports in Finland with deliveries by truck, bunkering vessel or ex-pipe.
