Every vessel has a story - Meet Sagafjord's new chapter

Every vessel has a story - Meet Sagafjord's new chapter

What strengths does Sagafjord bring, and how will customers benefit?

Sagafjord offers greater flexibility with her large cargo capacity, excellent condition, and strong maneuverability. She shortens mooring times, improves efficiency, and is technically equipped to handle both conventional fuels and alternatives. This means customers across Sweden and Northern Europe can count on reliable supply today, with readiness for tomorrow’s fuels like biofuels, methanol, and ammonia.

How does this charter support Bunker One Europe’s growth strategy?

She strengthens our regional network across Germany, the UK, Denmark, and Sweden, while primarily operating from Sweden and Denmark. Flexibility is at the core of our growth strategy, investing in vessels that serve current demand and are prepared for future fuels. Sagafjord is a strong example of that approach.

The industry is changing fast. How does Sagafjord help you stay ahead?

Customer expectations are evolving, and alternative fuels are gaining ground. As a chemical tanker, Sagafjord is already suited for biofuels and methanol, and can adapt for ammonia with the right approvals. This makes her an ideal vessel for supporting customers’ decarbonization journeys while ensuring our operations remain future-ready.

What challenges come with bringing in a vessel like this?

Integrating a new tanker requires skilled crew, licenses, and pilot exemptions, all critical for safe operations. Preparing for alternative fuels also demands training and technical adjustments. The fact that Sagafjord comes from a trusted partner gives us confidence in her performance and ensures reliability from day one.

What role does Sweden play in your regional strategy, and what does Sagafjord signal about your future?

Sweden has a strong bunkering tradition and is leading on green shipping initiatives. Sagafjord enhances our ability to supply both traditional and alternative fuels, supporting this transition. For us, it’s a clear signal: Bunker One is here for the long term, investing in a modern, versatile fleet to serve customers today and tomorrow.

With Sagafjord, Bunker One Sweden adds capacity, flexibility, and future readiness, strengthening its role in Bunker One Europe and underlining its commitment to shaping the next chapter of marine energy supply.
