China Shipping & Sinopec Suppliers Co., Ltd. (SinoBunker) on Sunday (2 February) said it recently set a new record for the largest single bunkering operation of marine biofuel in China.
The firm refuelled containership Xin Fei Zhou, owned by COSCO SHIPPING Lines with 4,000 metric tonnes (mt) of B24 biofuel.
The bunkering operation adopted a “dual bunker barge supply” method where the company’s barges Xin Run 23 and Daqing 226 worked overnight to successfully complete the operation at Yantian International Container Terminals.
“This strongly proves that the company has the ability to regularly supply marine biofuel, and strengthens the confidence of the industry in the development of marine biofuel,” SinoBunker said.
The company said it has been on the forefront of the use of bio bunker fuel as it conducted research, completed bench tests and actual ship tests for marine biofuel and issued three group standards for the domestic market.
