Previously used for waste oil, the terminal will now handle bio-components such as fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO), alongside gasoil and diesel.

The upgrade will give Burando full flexibility to blend biofuels with fossil fuels in any ratio, the firm said.

The facility includes eight storage tanks ranging from 1,500-10,000 cbm in capacity.

Burando provides physical bunker deliveries, including various biofuel blends, across key European ports.

It also operates a sea-going tanker for bunkering at remote coastal ports from France and the UK to Denmark, according to its website.
