20 June, 2025 – GAC Bunker Fuels, a leading global marine fuel supplier, has secured the prestigious International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), underscoring its commitment to delivering sustainable and traceable marine biofuels. This certification positions the company at the forefront of the maritime industry’s decarbonisation efforts, enabling shipowners and operators to reduce carbon emissions while meeting increasingly stringent environmental regulations worldwide.
ISCC Certification: A Rigorous Benchmark for Sustainability
The ISCC is a globally recognized certification system that verifies sustainability and low-carbon supply chains from raw materials to final delivery. Achieving ISCC certification required GAC Bunker Fuels to undergo a comprehensive audit of its operational processes, supplier network, and documentation to ensure compliance with strict environmental and social standards.
Martyn McMahon, Global Director of GAC Bunker Fuels, emphasized the significance of this accomplishment: “We take our responsibility to protect the environment seriously. This certification reflects not just compliance with standards but our commitment to delivering real value to customers advancing towards net zero emissions.”
Supporting Compliance with Emerging Regulatory Frameworks
With evolving regulations such as FuelEU Maritime and the European Union Emissions Trading System (ETS) increasingly impacting the marine fuels sector, the ISCC certification ensures that GAC Bunker Fuels’ sustainable biofuels are fully compliant, providing customers with confidence and transparency in their fuel sourcing.
Strategic Focus on Alternative Fuels for Decarbonisation
While LNG bunkering remains part of GAC Bunker Fuels’ broader energy portfolio, the company’s primary strategic focus lies in transitioning towards alternative fuels such as biofuels, methanol, and ammonia. These fuels offer significant potential to reduce the carbon intensity of marine operations and align with the company’s ambitious net-zero target set for 2030.
GAC Bunker Fuels is the first bunker company to formally align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), reflecting a holistic approach to sustainability that integrates environmental responsibility with social and economic factors.
Driving the Transition to Low-Carbon Maritime Fuels
To accelerate decarbonisation in the maritime sector, GAC Bunker Fuels is actively partnering with alternative fuel suppliers and encouraging shipowners to adopt cleaner fuels with a lower environmental impact. The company offers extensive expertise and market insight to support customers in navigating the complex transition to sustainable fuel options.
