GPS Marine Puts Biofuel Bunker Barge on UK's River Thames
Marine services company GPS Marine and fuel producer Green Biofuels have dedicated a refurbished barge to supplying biofuel bunkers on the River Thames.
The Dispenser will supply Green Biofuels's HVO product GreenD+ to ships on the Thames, loading from the Stolthaven Terminal to the east of London, news publication Biofuels International reported on Tuesday.
"After moving our entire Thames based fleet to a drop-in advanced fuel, we hope to set an example for other fleets to take environmental responsibility into their own hands – and put words into action," the publication cited John Spencer, CEO of GPS Marine, as saying.
Biofuels are growing in popularity in the shipping industry as companies seek drop-in replacements to conventional bunkers that can be used in existing engines to cut net carbon emissions.
