The blend comprised 30% biofuel component and 70% HSFO. The blend was delivered to Yang Ming’s container ship, YM Together, by South Korean bunker supplier GS Caltex.

GS Caltex is certified by the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC), which enables it to supply biofuel blends with ISCC certification in South Korea.

ISCC is a global certification system that sets standards for the sustainable production, sourcing and trade of various bio-based feedstocks and biofuels.
