In the Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Singapore-based shipping company Swire Shipping, part of Swire Group, has completed a sustainable B24 biofuel trial on its transpacific service.
MV Suva Chief, a containership on the Sun Chief Express Ocean service, was bunkered in Hong Kong with sustainable B24 biofuel, a blend of sustainable biodiesel of waste origin and conventional fuels, according to the report.
The trial was conducted in partnership with Hong Kong-based marine fuel supplier, Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical (CPN), and Swire Shipping’s bunkering partner, the Hafnia Bunker Alliance, it added.
Harry Stones, President of Swire Shipping North America, said: “The use of sustainable B24 biofuel in our Sun Chief Express Ocean service is projected to reduce well-to-wake emissions for our customers by an estimated 15%. We look forward to continuing such efforts to minimize our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future for the maritime industry.”
