Auramarine supplies liquid biofuel to Finnish shipping company
The Auramarine fuel supply systems will be used onboard two Meriaura cargo ships.
The systems will be manufactured at Auramarine’s Shanghai factory with deliveries to the shipyard in May 2025 and March 2026. The fuel supply systems will supply fuel oil to the engine and help ensure the fuel meets the set temperature and viscosity requirements.
Auramarine’s fuel supply systems are designed for different types of biofuels.
John Bergman, CEO of Auramarine, said: “We’re proud of our long-standing partnership with industry leaders like Meriaura. Through close collaboration with shipowners as well as shipyards, we’re able to develop tailored and reliable solutions that ensure effective fuel management and ongoing safety.
"As shipping navigates a multifuel future, quality is key. This means that fit for purpose systems are key to giving shipowners the confidence to make long-term investments in the operational integrity of their vessels.”
Beppe Rosin, CEO, Meriaura, added: “Meriaura has set an ambitious goal to reach carbon neutrality within the 2030s. Instead of adopting a wait-and-see approach to potential future alternative fuel solutions, we have proactively developed our own biofuel and invested in technology that enables its use on our vessels.
"As a pioneer in large-scale utilization of biofuels on ships, we are very pleased to collaborate closely with a well-reputed and local technology provider like Auramarine.”
