Fratelli Cosulich completes its first biofuel supply

May 7, 2023 |

In The Netherlands, Offshore Energy reported that Italian maritime transportation group Fratelli Cosulich, in partnership with IPLOM (Piedmont Industry Processing Mineral Oils), has begun producing and supplying its own bio VLSFO to reduce the GHG intensity of marine fuels and meet the EU requirements.

The report stated that German liner company Hapag-Lloyd provided support and indicated one of its vessels to run the test. The fuel is made up of 10% bio component sourced from an Italian biorefinery ISCC certified, the report adds.

According to Fratelli, this biofuel will enable vessel owners and charterers to reduce GHG emissions by 10% and lower the cost of ETS coverage.

Fratelli also said it has invested in new LNG bunker vessels and said it is studying the possibility to use methanol as a marine fuel.
