Rotterdam – FincoEnergies, a leading provider of sustainable marine fuel solutions, together with the powerhouse in maritime digital innovation, Ofiniti, has announced the adoption of Digital Delivery via electronic Bunker Delivery Note (eBDN) technology across its marine biofuel operations in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region. This significant technological upgrade is powered by FuelBoss, a platform developed by Ofiniti and implemented in collaboration with VT Group, a trusted logistics partner.
This landmark development underscores FincoEnergies’ ongoing commitment to transparency, innovation, and sustainability in one of the world’s busiest and most critical marine fuel supply regions.

A Game-Changer for Marine Biofuel Delivery Transparency
The marine biofuel market has traditionally been characterized by complex logistics, fragmented processes, and a lack of operational visibility. FincoEnergies’ integration of Ofiniti’s eBDN technology directly addresses these longstanding challenges.
Through the FuelBoss platform, FincoEnergies can now offer a fully digital workflow for marine fuel delivery—one that enables real-time coordination, automated documentation, and instant data sharing among all stakeholders involved in the supply chain.
“Schedules are becoming increasingly tighter as demand for sustainable biofuels grows,” said 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 digital shift supports FincoEnergies’s overarching mission to lead the transition toward cleaner, smarter transport solutions, ensuring that every aspect of its fuel delivery operation is as efficient, reliable, and transparent as possible.
Building on a Proven Legacy of Marine Digital Innovation
This adoption of eBDN is the latest milestone in FincoEnergies’ long-standing commitment to digital transformation in the marine fuels space. Together with its sustainable biofuels brand, GoodFuels, FincoEnergies has consistently pioneered groundbreaking solutions that advance both decarbonization and digitalisation in the maritime sector.
The company’s previous innovations include:
- The world’s first commercial biofuel bunker delivery
- Early deployment of blockchain-powered bunker delivery notes
- Development of advanced fuel tracing systems
- Introduction of FuelEU Pooling, a compliance solution for FuelEU Maritime regulations
“Digital trust is key in a decarbonising world,” Arets added. “We are proud to build on our innovation legacy by implementing tools that strengthen the integrity and transparency of our operations.”
Ofiniti: Maritime Digitalisation Backed by DNV Expertise
At the core of this digital upgrade is Ofiniti, a maritime technology provider born out of global assurance leader DNV. Ofiniti brings together extensive shipping industry experience and forward-thinking software development to tackle inefficiencies in marine fuel delivery.
Its flagship platform, FuelBoss, is designed to eliminate manual processes, increase data accuracy, and streamline fuel logistics in both traditional and alternative marine fuel operations.
“Our work with LNG suppliers laid the groundwork,” said 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.”
FuelBoss empowers suppliers, shipowners, and charterers to access real-time operational data while ensuring the integrity of delivery documentation, which is crucial for meeting increasingly stringent environmental and regulatory requirements.
VT Group: Enabling Digital Bunkering on the Ground
As a strategic implementation partner, VT Group plays a vital role in realizing the operational benefits of the FuelBoss eBDN system. Known for its expertise in inland waterway and seaport logistics, VT Group ensures that the digital delivery process is both seamless and robust across all operational settings.
“As operators, we continuously look for ways to improve life on board and support our partners,” said Wouter van Reenen, Business Development Manager at VT Group. “FuelBoss is a strong fit for our operations and those of our chartering clients.”
VT Group’s modern and versatile fleet specializes in the safe and efficient transport of mineral oils, biofuels, and chemicals across Western Europe’s inland waterways. Its collaboration with FincoEnergies and Ofiniti demonstrates how cross-sector partnerships are critical to accelerating digitalisation and decarbonisation in marine logistics.
Decarbonising Transport Together
The adoption of eBDN technology aligns directly with FincoEnergies’ mission: Decarbonising the transport industry together. That mission is built on collaboration and continuous innovation, which are both strongly reflected in this digital transformation initiative.
The benefits of adopting FuelBoss and eBDN for marine biofuel operations include:
- Significant reduction in manual paperwork
- Fewer administrative errors
- Real-time stakeholder insights
- Greater confidence in fuel delivery documentation
These benefits are vital for shipping clients who must now comply with stricter environmental regulations while maintaining cost-effective and reliable operations.
“We believe in leading by example,” concluded Arets. “Our vision is that digital delivery becomes the norm, not the exception. The faster the industry embraces this shift, the sooner we can unlock the full efficiency and transparency needed to support a net-zero future for shipping.”
Towards a Clean and Digital Future for Global Shipping
With biofuel adoption on the rise and regulatory demands intensifying across the maritime industry, FincoEnergies is paving the way for a cleaner, smarter future in global bunkering. By implementing eBDN and enabling digital workflows for biofuel delivery in the ARA region, the company is setting a precedent that others in the industry are likely to follow.
However, true transformation requires widespread industry participation. FincoEnergies, along with its partners, is calling on the maritime sector to accelerate the digital and sustainable transformation—not only as a compliance requirement but as a collective responsibility.
