The roots of new ammonia bunkering venture Azane Fuel Solutions lie in shared studies in Norway a decade ago.

Andre Risholm, chief executive of Amon Maritime, and ECONNECT Energy's chief innovation officer Stian Magnusson were both at Norwegian University of Science and Technology and have kept in touch since.

When Risholm, a former newbuilding manager at DOF Group, started his company in 2019, it was natural to get some advice from ECONNECT, which was formed straight out of university in 2012.
