        总部位于新加坡的航运公司Ocean Network Express（简称ONE）已经在悬挂新加坡国旗的集装箱船“NYK Fuji”号上完成了第三次海洋生物燃料试验。

 

         2022年2月11日，“NYK Fuji”号在新加坡港加油时，补充了1300公吨的海洋生物燃料产品。 

 

        这艘配置了ONE公司SAS服务的船舶不到45天就耗尽了所加生物燃料。此次试验开始于2022年2月21日，船舶通过马六甲海峡（Malacca Straits），继续航行至德班港（Durban）和开普敦（Cape Town）港，然后返回东南亚（Southeast Asia）。 

 

        这艘船舶使用的生物燃料产品是棕色油脂甲酯（brown grease methyl ester，简称BGME），一种脂肪酸甲酯（fatty acid methyl ester，简称FAME）与极低硫燃料油（very low sulphur fuel oil，简称VLSFO）的混合品。其中BGME是用标示为100%废物或残渣的原料生产的，其可持续性得到了国际公认标准的认证。BGME是一种可持续的生物燃料成分，在技术和操作上都与石油提取出的船舶燃料相似。 

 

        ONE公司称，该试验不需要对船用发动机或燃料基础设施进行任何改造，并表明可将船用生物燃料产品视为一种 “滴入式燃料”（drop in fuel），能够帮助减少航运业（碳）排放。 

 

        BGME与VLSFO的混合品由英国石油公司（BP）提供。在新加坡海事与港口管理局（the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore，简称MPA）的协助监督下，该公司与船东日本邮船株式会社（Nippon Yusen Kabushiki，简称NYK）合作进行使用和测试工作。 

 

        ONE公司评论道：“这项最新的生物燃料试验再次证明了扩大使用可持续生物燃料成分的潜力，并标志着ONE公司的可持续发展倡议又向前迈进了一步”；同时，该公司表示使用生物燃料等绿色燃料将有助于减少碳足迹，从而实现其到2050年净零排放的环保可持续性目标。

 

        该公司去年在鹿特丹港（Port of Rotterdam）的一艘巴拿马型箱货船“MOL Experience”号上进行了第一次和第二次生物燃料试验。

ONE wraps up 3rd biofuel trial to support shipping’s decarbonization

 

Singapore-based shipping company Ocean Network Express (ONE) has completed the third trial of marine biofuel onboard the Singapore-flagged container vessel NYK Fuji.

 

NYK Fuji was refuelled with 1,300 metric tonnes of marine biofuel product during bunkering at the Port of Singapore, on 11 February 2022. 

 

The vessel, deployed on ONE’s SAS service, fully consumed the biofuel in 45 days. The trial started on 21 February 2022, after the vessel passed the Malacca Straits, sailing onwards to the ports of Durban and Cape Town, before returning to Southeast Asia. 

 

The biofuel product used was a blend of brown grease methyl ester (BGME), a type of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), with very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO). The BGME used is produced from feedstocks labelled as 100% waste or residue and is certified for its sustainability to internationally recognised standards. It is a sustainable biofuel component that is technically and operationally similar to petroleum-derived marine fuels. 

 

The trial required no modifications to marine engines or fuel infrastructure and showed that marine biofuel product can be considered a ‘drop in fuel’ that can help to reduce emissions in shipping, according to ONE. 

 

The blend of BGME with VLSFO was supplied by bp. The use and testing were performed in collaboration with shipowner Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK) with the assistance and supervision of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). 

 

“This latest biofuel trial once again proves the potential to expand the use of sustainable biofuel components, and marks yet another step forward for ONE’s sustainability initiatives,” ONE commented, adding that the use of green fuel such as biofuel will help to reduce carbon footprint to achieve its environmental sustainability target of net zero emission by 2050.

 

Last year, the company conducted its first and second biofuel trials onboard a Panamax boxship MOL Experience in the Port of Rotterdam.
