Swire Shipping has completed a successful B24 biofuel trial on its transpacific service.

The company’s 2,750-teu Suva Chief (built 2021), a vessel on the Sun Chief Express Ocean service, was bunkered in Hong Kong with the sustainable biofuel.

The B24 biofuel is a blend of sustainable biodiesel of waste origin and conventional fuels that is projected to reduce well-to-wake emissions for Swire Shipping’s customers by about 15%.
