FincoEnergies leads digital innovation in marine (bio)fuel delivery by adopting eBDN technology from Ofiniti

Rotterdam, 17 June 2025 – In a joint move that underscores its commitment to transparency, innovation and sustainability, FincoEnergies has announced the adoption of Digital Delivery through electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN) technology across its marine (bio)fuel operations in the ARA (Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp) region. This strategic implementation is powered by the FuelBoss platform developed by Ofiniti, in collaboration with trusted logistics partner VT Group.

This partnership represents a significant step toward a more digitised, efficient, and trustworthy bunkering process in one of the world’s busiest fuel supply hubs.

A game-changer for marine (bio)fuel delivery transparency

The marine (bio)fuel market has long been characterised by complex logistics and opaque operational processes. By integrating Ofiniti’s eBDN technology, FincoEnergies seeks to address these pain points head-on. FuelBoss provides a fully digital workflow that enables real-time delivery coordination, automated documentation, and instant data sharing between all stakeholders.

“Schedules are becoming increasingly tighter as demand for sustainable biofuels grows,” explains Leon Arets, Trading & Operations Director at FincoEnergies. “We’re adopting a platform that enhances structure and responsiveness. This digital leap allows us to not only scale efficiently, but also deliver greater transparency and operational excellence to our clients.”

This aligns seamlessly with FincoEnergies’ ambition to lead the transition toward cleaner and smarter transport solutions.

Building on a legacy of digital marine innovation

This milestone adds to FincoEnergies’ and its sustainable biofuels brand GoodFuels’ pioneering track record in digital transformation. Both brands have led the charge in deploying blockchain-powered bunker delivery notes, advanced fuel tracing solutions and sustainability standards for marine biofuels.

From being the world’s first to successfully perform a commercial biofuel bunker delivery to setting new standards in digital traceability and introducing FuelEU Pooling as a compliance solution for FuelEU Maritime regulations, the company has consistently redefined what’s possible in sustainable marine fuel.

“Digital trust is key in a decarbonising world,” says Arets. “We are proud to build on our innovation legacy by implementing tools that strengthen the integrity and transparency of our operations.”

Ofiniti: a digital powerhouse born from DNV

Ofiniti is no stranger to maritime digitalisation. A spin-off from global assurance and risk management leader DNV, Ofiniti brings together deep industry know-how with cutting-edge technology. Its flagship platform, FuelBoss, is designed to replace cumbersome manual processes with streamlined digital workflows that boost efficiency and data reliability.

“Our work with LNG suppliers laid the groundwork,” notes Oliver Brix Sparsø, Global Director of Sales at Ofiniti. “But this collaboration with FincoEnergies and VT Group marks the first large-scale commitment to digital delivery workflows for biofuels. It’s a turning point for the region.”

Decarbonising the industry together

FincoEnergies’ mission, Decarbonising the industry together, is grounded in collaboration and innovation. The partnership with Ofiniti and VT Group exemplifies this spirit, combining technological leadership with operational expertise.

“As operators, we continuously look for ways to improve life on board and support our partners,” adds Wouter van Reenen, Business Development Manager at VT Group. “FuelBoss is a strong fit for our operations and those of our chartering clients.”

These cross-sector partnerships are crucial in accelerating the transition to a cleaner, more resilient transport sector.

Towards a clean future for global shipping

By pioneering the adoption of eBDN and digital workflows in marine biofuel delivery, FincoEnergies is setting a bold example for the industry. The expected benefits include reduced administrative workload, fewer errors, real-time stakeholder insights, and enhanced trust in delivery documentation, ultimately helping pave the way for scalable low-carbon shipping solutions.

However, the full potential of this innovation can only be realised through widespread industry adoption.

As biofuel demand rises and the regulatory landscape evolves, FincoEnergies remains committed to enabling a smarter, cleaner maritime sector, together with its partners and the broader industry.
