Hong Kong-based marine fuel oil supplier Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical (CPN) on Monday (14 April) said it has commenced supply of B30 biofuel in Hong Kong.
The company said the new bunker service is a significant step forward in supporting greener shipping and a more sustainable maritime industry.
“Approved by the IMO MEPC 83, the new regulatory framework now allows conventional Type I barges to carry biofuel blends of up to 30% (B30),” it said in a social media post.
“Following this announcement, we could commence B30 bunkering services across Hong Kong’s waters.”
Since 2021, CPN has established a dedicated taskforce to conduct research on alternative fuels, including marine biofuel, which aimed at contributing to a more sustainable shipping industry.
In 2023, the company completed its first biofuel bunker delivery in Hong Kong by supplying the first batch of ISCC-EU certified UCOME-based B24 marine biofuel to an oceangoing vessel Cape Amal operated by K Line.
In late February this year, CPN achieved a milestone after successfully completing the largest single B24 biofuel delivery in Hong Kong.
The company supplied 5,500 metric tonnes (mt) of B24-LSFO to the vessel XIN LOS ANGELES on 19 February.
It was also the largest biofuel bunker delivery amongst all Chinese ports.
