The roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ship M/V Tamesis, owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen, bunkered 400 metric tons of B24 biofuel at the Port of Yokohama during the testing. Mitsubishi Corporation provided the biofuel. The shipping company expanded its locations for biofuel delivery and characterized the operation as a milestone in its continued efforts to promote sustainability and decrease environmental impact and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen has been expanding since 2023, adding ports in Korea, Singapore, and Belgium. According to the Science Based Targets project, the company’s emission reduction goals include a 40% absolute decrease in well-to-wake GHG emissions by 2030 when compared to its baseline emissions from 2022.
The classification society DNV provided Wallenius Wilhelmsen with its first biofuel in setting verification statement in 2024, confirming the GHG reductions attained by using 100% biofuel (B100) on the Morning Post vehicle carrier.
According to recent reports, the shipping company has introduced a sustainable framework that encourages green financing methods. Under this framework, it is possible to raise funds through sustainability-linked bonds, loans, and derivatives as well as green bonds and loans.
