Capital Ship Management, a Greek ship management company, and classification society Lloyd’s Register (LR) have agreed to initiate trial the use of biofuels in a new pilot project.
The trial’s objective is to support the maritime industry’s research for low to zero-carbon fuels, which will be in line with the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets.
Under the project, biofuel-blended marine fuel will be tested on Capital managed 300,000 dwt crude tanker, Appollonas.
As part of the project, LR Maritime Performance Services (MPS) team will facilitate the risk assessment of the operational impact of biofuel. It also will orchestrate the development, implementation and calculation of the emissions monitoring programme and will provide overall third-party verification.
LR’s Fuel Oil Bunker Analysis Service (FOBAS) will also carry out the biofuel quality assessment and characterisation to cover all aspects of the new fuel management.
