Mitsui O.S.K. Lines’ wholly owned subsidiary, Euro Marine Logistics (EML), has started sea trials of its car carrier, the City Of Oslo, using biofuel.
Following the signing of a supply deal between EML and Goodfuels, 370 tons of biofuel were bunkered on the vessel at the Dutch port of Flushing.
The GoodFuels biofuel can be used on vessels without changing engine specifications, which has the potential to become an environmentally friendly alternative fuel, a spokesman said.
“Biofuel is positioned as an effective alternative to fossil fuels in the MOL Group's new environmental strategy.”
