Voyage on bio fuels completed


It is a partnership of four: marine biofuels supplier Good Fuels, fleet operator Stolt Tankers, ship manager Synergy Group and British maritime investor Tufton are working together to develop a sustainability strategy. A test run with a merchant vessel 100% sustainable marine biofuel has just been completed.

 

The sustainable biofuel, derived from feedstocks such as used cooking oil and waste animal fats, was used on board the 21,000 DWT chemical tanker "Monax" on its voyage from North Europe to Canada.

 

This sustainable biofuel delivers a well-to-exhaust CO2 reduction of between 80% and 90% compared to fossil fuel equivalents, without requiring modifications to the engine or the fuel infrastructure.

 

"Monax" is one of the seven Tufton vessels that operate under the Stolt Tankers Joint Service (STJS) Deep-Sea Fleet pool. (cd)
