It delivered B30 marine biofuel – a blend of 30% second-generation fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) based on vegetable oil and used cooking oil residue, with 70% gasoil. The biofuel was delivered by trucks.

By 2030, TUI Cruises aims to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by more than a quarter compared to 2019 levels. The company plans to increase uptake of alternative fuels across its fleet and use measures such as shore power and slow steaming to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
