Rotterdam's bio-bunker fuel sales experienced a significant decline of 38% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter, as reported by Port of Rotterdam data. This sharp drop marked the steepest quarterly decrease since the same period in 2024. In total, 154,000 mt of bio-bunker fuel were sold in the third quarter, a significant drop from 233,000 mt in the second quarter.
The port authority noted that the decline was due to a sharp decrease in bio-bunker fuel sales following a high second quarter. Bio-bunker fuels accounted for 8% of Rotterdam's total bunker sales in the third quarter, down from 13% in the second quarter. However, bio-MGO sales showed relative stability, increasing by 4% from the previous quarter to 41,000 mt, while still representing 27% of total biofuel sales.
