Spliethoff Group is the latest shipowner to carry out trials of 100% biofuels following earlier tests of combined biofuels and conventional heavy fuel oil (HFO).
The Dutch multipurpose operator said the trials are taking place aboard the 12,500-dwt Flevogracht (built 2011).
The ship was bunkered in Amsterdam on 13 December 2021 with 100% fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) based biofuel supplied by compatriot sustainable marine fuel pioneer GoodFuels.
