New Danish data, collected during real-world sailing, documents significant climate benefits from biofuel for the shipping industry. The findings have been submitted to the International Maritime Organization.
TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. has announced that MOL, China's largest fuel supplier SINOPEC Zhejiang Zhoushan Petroleum Co. Ltd., and Marubeni Corp. have signed an MOU for the establishment of a long-term supply system for marine biodiesel fuel.
