The majority of Costa Group ships are equipped with shore power capabilities to be zero emissions in ports where the technology is available, and the Company has also performed the first tests on biofuels.
GoodFuels has successfully supplied sustainable marine biofuel to NYK's bulk carrier MV Frontier Explorer, in the first such delivery to a major maritime client since the company opened its Singapore office.
Eighteen companies and organizations are participating in this project, and demonstration trials will be conducted with an investment scale of approximately US$18 million.
A 10-day trial onboard a Spar Shipping AS bulk carrier enabled a reduction of at least 75% in carbon and sulphur emissions, and further confirms technical viability of GoodFuels' sustainable marine biofuel
The biofuel being used in this trial is Neste RD, which is being imported to Japan through a contract that Itochu Corporation has signed with the Neste OYJ Group
