Responsible bunkering
9/29/2025
Blending sustainability, expertise, and a customer-centric approach in responsible bunkering.
As the maritime industry accelerates toward cleaner energy, PBT is leading the way, uniting sustainability, deep technical expertise, and unwavering attention to customer needs to become a trusted partner for responsible, full-scope bunkering services.
Setting the stage for the energy transition
Regulation, public concern, and market demand are all pointing toward greener marine fuels. Biofuels, LNG, hydrogen, methanol, all are coming into sharper focus as shipping companies aim to meet tougher emissions limits and reduce environmental impact. PBT is keeping pace, not just by observing trends but by preparing clients for the shift.
Recent figures underscore the momentum: in the first half of 2025, orders for alternative-fuel vessels hit some 19.8 million gross tonnes, up ~78% year-on-year. Companies are experimenting with green ammonia and e-methanol; biofuel blends are increasingly permissible under global and regional regulations.
PBT’s value proposition
In today’s changing landscape, operators need more than fuel supply, they need a partner. PBT delivers on three pillars:
Sustainability: Staying ahead of regulations (IMO, EU) and technical standards; embracing alternative fuels such as biofuels, e-methanol, LNG, hydrogen, etc.
Expertise: Decades of bunkering experience, deep insights into fuel markets, technical & regulatory developments. PBT does not just react, PBT anticipates.
Customer-centricity: Access to worldwide trusted supplier networks, transparency, guidance to help clients navigate fuel choices, cost implications, and compliance. PBT ensures clients are informed and ready.
What clients can expect
- Clear, real-time updates on fuel options and regulation changes.
- Advice on blending biofuels and using newer fuel types safely and efficiently.
- Reliable supply backed by global sourcing; logistical support.
- Consultation driven by operational needs, both today’s and what’s coming tomorrow.
Looking forward
With international rules like the IMO’s emissions cap, and EU programmes such as FuelEU Maritime, the push toward cleaner maritime energy is no longer optional, it’s essential. PBT sees this as an opportunity: to guide clients through the transition with reliability, responsibility and innovation.
