Bunker trading firm Glander International Bunkering (GIB) today announced its second partnership with Ecourea, a manufacturer and supplier of NOx reduction technologies and products.

The partnership coincides with the opening of a new Ecourea plant in Tananger, Norway — located near Stavanger — and gives GIB exclusive selling rights for their product range.

Under the terms of the agreement, GIB says it will be able to provide shipping companies with a complete emissions control package, from the system design to the supply of marine urea (AUS40) — a reduction agent in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) converters used for NOx reduction in marine vessels that is said to lower emission levels by up to 98 percent in accordance with MARPOL Annex VI.

Commenting on the news, Rune Kongstein, GIB's Managing Director in Norway, remarked: "After our first ECOUREA venture in Bergen back in 2014, we are eager to continue this success now in Stavanger, the oil capital of Norway. Our company aims to be the fuel partner of choice, helping our clients reduce emissions in the most cost-efficient and compliant way. This collaboration will play a key role in our efforts towards sustainable shipping."

Ecourea CEO Justin Roberts said: "As the shipping industry witnesses a shift towards cleaner fuel, the demand for our sustainable solutions is increasing. We are pleased to work with Glander International Bunkering again to help achieve Norway's goals for greener shipping."
