Klaveness successfully tests 30% biofuel on Brazil-Netherlands voyage

In the Netherlands, Klaveness Combination Carriers ASA (KCC) has successfully completed testing of 30% biofuel aboard its CLEANBU MV Baru on her voyage from the Netherlands to Brazil as part of KCC’s ongoing efforts to gain technical and commercial experience with biofuels.

As highlighted by the EU Commission’s FuelEU Maritime legislation proposal, regional, and potentially global regulations, would require shipowners to increase the share of renewable/low-carbon fuel in the mix. If adopted, FuelEU Maritime will require a gradual improvement of carbon intensity of energy used onboard its vessels from 2025 (2%) up to 2050 (75%).
