HMM trials GS Caltex’s marine biofuels

jlane September 19, 2023

In South Korea, HMM announced that it conducted a trial use of a sustainable marine biofuel on its 6,400TEU container ship HMM TACOMA calling in Busan, South Korea.

HMM TACOMA, operated in FIL service connecting Far East, India and Latin America, was refueled with the biofuel blend during its bunkering at the Port of Busan.

This marine biofuel, supplied by GS Caltex, consists of 30 percent biodiesel derived from used cooking oil and 70 percent high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO), reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 24% compared to conventional fuels. Biofuel has the merit of being compatible with current ship engines without technological modification.
