A.P. Moller – Maersk, owner of the world’s largest shipping line, has agreed to a joint initiative with independent tank storage operator Royal Vopak to launch a low sulphur bunkering facility in Rotterdam. The facility will help Maersk and other carriers meet the strict rules regarding the International Maritime Organization’s .5% sulphur cap beginning in 2020. Located at Vopak Terminal Europoort, the facility will have the capacity to deliver approximately 2.3 million tonnes of 2020-compliant low sulphur bunker fuel per year, enough for approximately 20% of Maersk’s global demand. The agreement will allow Maersk, as well as any other interested third parties, to supply vessels trading with and inside Europe.
