US owner Eagle Bulk Shipping is a convert to the decarbonisation potential of biofuels after running a ship across the Atlantic in a first for the company.
The Stamford-based supramax and ultramax bulker company said the "fossil-free" voyage was made in partnership with Dutch fuel supplier GoodFuels.
The 63,500-dwt Sydney Eagle (built 2015) was bunkered with GoodFuels' marine biofuel for the first time during its call at Terneuzen in the Netherlands.
