Goodfuels successfully delivers sustainable B30

Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Dawn has received a GoodFuels B30 sustainable biofuel blend while docked at the Ijmuiden Cruise Terminal in the Netherlands.
Supplied by FincoEnergies in partnership with KPI OceanConnect, this biofuel adoption marks an important step toward decarbonising the cruise line’s operations.
The B30 biofuel blend, produced exclusively from feedstocks certified as 100% waste and residues, offers a sustainable alternative that avoids competition with food resources.
By choosing GoodFuels’ sustainable biofuel, Norwegian Dawn can achieve up to 80-90% reduction in lifecycle CO₂ emissions compared to traditional marine diesel—requiring no engine modifications to realise these benefits.
Beyond reducing carbon emissions, biofuels contribute to cleaner air quality along cruise routes.
For vessels like Norwegian Dawn, this means fewer local pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and black carbon, ultimately benefiting both the environment and communities near these waters.
“We’re excited to support Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings in their move toward cleaner cruising. By choosing sustainable biofuels, they’re driving down emissions and setting a strong example for the cruise industry” said Mayu Kubo, commercial manager, Marine Biofuels at FincoEnergies.
