FRENCH shipping giant CMA CGM's subsidiary ANL has completed the first biofuel trial on a containerised shipping vessel within Oceania, that is Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
The trial was undertaken on ANL's AAX1 service on a 42-day rotation, commencing in Brisbane, travelling via southeast Asia and onto key Australian ports.
Australian retailer Woolworths Group has been a critical partner in this biofuel trial.
The trail voyage used a B20 biofuel blend with feedstock supplied by Queensland-based EcoTech.
BP Marine and Port of Brisbane played a pivotal role in supplying and bunkering the blended fuel.
ANL declared the prospect of being able to transport goods with lower emissions could positively impact thousands of consumers from this one sailing.
