NORDEN has signed a two-year Contract of Affreightment (COA) with Enviva to transport a significant volume of wood pellets from the United States to Europe over a two-year period, commencing in 2026.
 
Enviva is the world’s largest producer of wood pellets, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels around the globe with production across the Southeastern U.S. The contract builds on NORDEN’s long-term partnership with Enviva and expands the co-operation between our two companies. The agreement is an extension to the COA that NORDEN has been executing since 2012.
 
NORDEN CEO, Jan Rindbo, comments:
“Enviva is a valued customer to NORDEN. We are pleased that our relationship and performance with Enviva has ultimately led to their decision to extend the contract with us. Our collaboration with Enviva allows us to once again deliver wood pellet products, thereby contributing to delivering sustainable energy products to customers across the Atlantic.”
 
During the two-year contract period, Norden will transport multiple handysize shipments with loading on the east and gulf coasts of the United States to Enviva’s customers in the UK and Europe.
