Japan’s Marubeni Corp has carried out what it says is the first-ever bunkering of an ethylene carrier with biofuel.
It said its chartered-in 22,000-cbm GasChem Dollart (built 2020) conducted a trial voyage across the Atlantic using B25 marine biofuel supplied by BP.
The ship loaded the bunkers in the Dutch port of Vlissingen on 21 September, before heading to Morgan’s Point in Texas.
