Neste has begun delivery of low-sulphur marine fuel using an ex-pipe. This transfers fuel directly from the Södertälje terminal in Sweden to the ships without separate refuelling trucks or vessels.
- Ex-pipe means ships can be refuelled while performing other operations
- According to Neste the transfer of fuel this way is safer as there is no need for trucks to operate while other cargo is around.
- Ex-pipe can be used for ships calling the Södertälje terminal for cargo and for ships passing the terminal. Service will first be used by a tanker operated by Sirius Chartering.
