04 Feb 2025 / Rotterdam, Netherlands
Last year, maritime shipping bunkered 9.8 million tonnes of fuel in Rotterdam, a moderate decrease from 9.9 million tonnes in 2023. In 2024 the demand for fuel oil, marine gas oil, and other fuels was 0.9 percent lower than in 2023. It was notable that the demand for LNG in 2024 rebounded to previous levels after a decline during the period of inflated gas prices. Totalling 0.94 million m3, the demand for LNG increased by 52 percent compared to 2023, when 0.62 million m3 was bunkered.
Following the inaugural bunkering of bio-methanol in the port of Rotterdam in 2023, the demand for bio-methanol surged in 2024, reaching nearly 4,000 tonnes, a remarkable increase from 750 tonnes in 2023.
The demand for bio-blended fuels in 2024 exhibited a clear dichotomy: a slight growth in the first half of the year, followed by a sharp decline in the second half. That was particularly evident in the demand for bio-blended VLSFO, the largest of the bio-blends. The increased availability of bio-blended fuels in Asia following the European Union’s imposition of anti-dumping duties on Chinese biofuel was the primary cause.
Nonetheless, the demand for bio-blends remained unchanged from 2023 at 750,000 tonnes.
