Hong Kong-based marine fuel oil supplier Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical (CPN) on Wednesday (7 May) completed the first B30 marine biofuel bunkering operation at its home base.
CPN supplied ISCC-EU certified B30 marine biofuel to a containership operated by Orient Overseas Container Line Ltd (OOCL) in Hong Kong.
Manifold Times previously reported CPN commencing B30 bunkering services across Hong Kong’s waters following recent approval by IMO MEPC 83 that now allows conventional Type I barges to carry biofuel blends of up to 30% (B30).
The company said the B30 blend, comprising 30% biodiesel, further reduced carbon emissions compared to B24 biofuel.
“This operation marks OOCL’s first B30 biofuel bunkering operation in Hong Kong, advancing their decarbonisation strategy,” CPN said on its website.
“Authorised by the IMO’s updated regulations, CPN’s B30 marine biofuel met stringent sulphur standards and supported global decarbonisation goals, reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as a hub for sustainable bunkering.”
