MSC has started to use biofuel in its vessels calling in Rotterdam following successful trials with biofuel blends earlier this year. Those were completed with a minimal 10% blend fuel and, following further trials, MSC is now using much higher 30% blends. MSC predicts that they expect an estimated 15-20% reduction in absolute CO2 emissions and that using biofuel on containerships could significantly help reduce emissions and improve air quality.
