Bunker One Expands ULSFO 0.10% Supply Across Northern Germany

Meeting the 0.10% sulfur requirement is straightforward in principle. The real challenge for shipowners and operators lies in achieving compliance in a cost-efficient and operationally flexible way, especially when managing multiple port calls, tight turnaround times, and volatile fuel markets.In Northern Germany, DMA has long been the default compliant fuel. While reliable, it has not always offered the most economical solution, and the limited availability of alternatives has reduced optionality for operators. Bunker One is addressing this by strengthening its ULSFO 0.1% supply infrastructure across key German ports, expanding both availability and flexibility for customers seeking cost-effective compliance solutions. In Hamburg, ULSFO supply is supported by the bunker barge Uwe Deymann, with a capacity of 4,300 cbm and pumping rates of up to 1,000 cbm per hour. This setup ensures fast, efficient, and reliable deliveries, backed by a fully aligned supply chain covering sourcing, quality assurance, and streamlined operational processes. As of 1st of April 2026, Bunker One also started offering its 0,10% S compliant products to the Weser River region, including ports such as Bremerhaven, Bremen, Brake, and Nordenham. The expansion enables the company to support both contract and spot enquiries, further improving accessibility to compliant fuel solutions in Northern Germany. Operations in the Weser area are carried out by the bunker barge Antwerp, a modern and versatile vessel with a capacity of 3,566 cbm and a pumping rate of up to 455 cbm per hour. She offers the option of supplying two different grades, providing shipowners and operators with increased flexibility to meet specific fuel requirements. Beyond German North Sea Ports, Bunker One’s current ULSFO setup in the Baltic region includes truck supply in Travemünde, ensuring continued coverage for vessels operating in the wider Northern European area. With a growing supply network, modern delivery assets, and a focus on reliability and transparency, Bunker One is expanding choice for shipowners, offering not just compliance, but more efficient and cost-effective ways to achieve it.
