13MAR2019 - NEWS - CMA CGM and Port of Rotterdam joins forces with IKEA Transport & Logistics Services and the GoodShipping Program for testing sustainable marine biofuel

French container shipping company CMA CGM and Dutch Port of Rotterdam have recently joined forces with IKEA Transport & Logistics Services and the GoodShipping Program to test and scale the use of sustainable marine biofuel oil. The test will commence with a bunkering of the marine biofuel oil on a CMA CGM container vessel on March 19, representing a major step towards the decarbonization of ocean freight. The test is being facilitated by the GoodShipping Program, a sustainable initiative dedicated to decarbonising ocean freight, and is the latest step in the scaling of low carbon marine biofuel oils for wider commercial use within the maritime industry. The sustainable marine biofuel oil has been developed by GoodFuels after undergoing three years of intensive testing with marine engine manufacturers.
