In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Dutch shipping company Jumbo Maritime has revealed that its heavy lift vessel Jumbo Jubilee has completed a transatlantic voyage to and around the United States powered mostly with biofuel.
According to the report, the company chose GoodFuels‘ biofuel with the aim to cut carbon emissions. The biofuel is expected to deliver 80-90% CO2-reduction versus fossil fuel equivalents.
“Sailing on biofuels in US ECAs means fewer bunker calls on that side of the Atlantic saving on time and costs, a win-win for the Jumbo-SAL-Alliance team,” the firm said.
The vessel bunkered the biofuels at the Port of Rotterdam. It had loaded three Liebherr cranes onboard, according to the report.
