“It is currently at an early stage, so any details or meaningful performances have yet to materialise,” HMM said.

Local media reported that HMM would test the use of bio heavy oil-mixed fuel for its 13,100 TEU class boxship currently in operation.

As disclosed, the project is part of the company’s strategy of expanding its presence in the field of sustainable energy for the future.

Biofuels have been gaining greater attention from the shipping industry as part of the maritime’s decarbonization goals as set by the IMO.

These fuels are predominantly produced from biomass, waste oils and agricultural waste.

Currently, the most widely used component is fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) or biodiesel, which is described in the latest ISO (8217/2017) specifications for marine fuel blends and is being offered by major oil companies.

These fuels require minimal or no changes to marine engines and fuel delivery systems, enabling for a rather smooth transition.

Companies like Norden, Stena Bulk, Maersk CMA CGM and MSC have all embarked on projects to test biofuel blends on their ships.
