This is the second biofuel trial successfully completed by "K" Line, and will follow by a third planned trial on its cape-sized bulker with GoodFuels as part of its efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

GoodFuels has partnered with Japanese trading firm Itochu Corporation to develop a biofuel supply chain across Singapore, Japan and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Under the partnership, ITOCHU manages logistics, blending and distribution of biofuel blend and GoodFuels is responsible for sourcing, technical expertise and sales.

“K” Line started testing biofuel on its vessels at the end of 2021. The first trial saw its car carrier Polaris Highway bunker biofuel provided by BP at the Dutch port of Flushing in November.
