The goal of the trial is to test the feasibility of using marine biofuel on the engines of the vessel and to obtain first-hand data on the potential carbon and other emissions.
With the obtained results, PIL expects to be able to better assess the technical and commercial viability of using biofuel as a potential “drop-in” fuel solution to achieve the overall reduction in carbon emissions of its vessels.
The type of biofuel on trial is a blend of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).
