GoodFuels successfully delivers sustainable B30 biofuel blend to Norwegian Dawn at Ijmuiden

While docked at the IJmuiden Cruise Terminal in the Netherlands, Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Dawn received a GoodFuels B30 sustainable biofuel blend. Supplied by FincoEnergies in partnership with KPI OceanConnect, this biofuel adoption marks an important step toward decarbonizing 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 realize 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. 

This initiative aligns with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd’s "Sail and Sustain" program, which advocates for the use of renewable fuels across 40% of its fleet. 

For GoodFuels, each biofuel delivery reaffirms our commitment to making impact with maritime partners with practical, available and affordable decarbonisation solutions. Our partnership with KPI OceanConnect on this project reflects a shared vision of sustainable biofuels as a viable path to reducing emissions in marine travel. 

As more cruise operators turn to sustainable fuels, GoodFuels is committed to backing this shift—helping pave the way for cleaner cruising and healthier marine environments.
