Singapore-based Swire Shipping has revealed it will fuel three of its South Pacific-bound vessels with second-generation biofuel blends.
Beginning in the second quarter, the 30,800-dwt multipurpose general cargo ships Apia Chief and Tonga Chief (both built 2013) and the 981-teu Kokopo Chief (built 1991) will bunker with B24 biofuel in Singapore en route to the South Pacific.
At a later date, the ships will transition to a B30 blend.
