US-listed Safe Bulkers has performed what it said was a successful biofuel trial on one of its post-panamaxes and promised to get even bolder with such tests in the future.
The company said it observed “no operational abnormalities or wear” in the main engine or diesel generators of the 85,000-dwt Troodos Oak (built 2020), which travelled with 346 tonnes of B20 grade biofuel on board.
