One of the most exciting developments is the pelletizing of biomass directly at the source, where agri-residues are converted into pellets. These pellets are easier to handle, require less storage space (both ashore and on board), carry a strong calorific value, and — when transported by sea in large quantities — are becoming a genuine alternative to fossil fuels. Our role? Advising clients on logistic strategies, storage, handling, transport solutions and contractual structures.
Another significant development is the emergence of so-called torrefied pellets — produced in such a way that they are water-resistant, making them far better suited for sea transport and outdoor storage. The first large-scale commercial production is set to start in Q1 2027, and SeaWorks is proud to be part of that journey, advising on logistics, handling and storage. Together, these innovations represent a credible and growing challenge to fossil fuels.
To stay at the forefront, we attended the EUBCE Summit held in The Hague last week. It was an inspiring event: companies presenting new products, ideas and developments — some still in the development phase, others already producing at a scale where ship owners can directly benefit and take meaningful steps toward carbon neutrality.
The biomass energy market remains underexposed, but developments are moving fast. That is why SeaWorks continuously monitors the market and attends key industry events — expanding our knowledge to offer practical and efficient logistic solutions to our clients.
Are you active in biomass and struggling to find the right logistics setup for your product flows? Whether it concerns storage, handling, port operations, ocean transport or full supply chain solutions — we are happy to brainstorm and collaborate, for any cargo size or trade lane.
