On the way…

In December 2021 MTM successfully completed the first trial of Bio Fuel blend on one MR Tanker on a voyage from from The Netherlands to Brazil using a Biofuel blend (B30 Bio VLSFO) on its journey towards decarbonization. The green fuel voyage was undertaken in collaboration with fuel supplier Trafigura, Lloyds as consultants, MAN/B&W as engine makers, DNV as vessel’s class and MPA as Singapore flag state administration. The project was managed by MTM’s vessel performance team based in Singapore headed by the Technical Director, Mr. Prashant Lokhande.
Trials were carried out at various load points using specialized equipment to constantly assess the performance and to record emission levels of the main engine, auxiliary engine, and boiler. No abnormalities were observed at any step of the process, with all machinery operating smoothly throughout the voyage. The Biofuel blend voyage resulted in a Well to Wake reduction in emissions of 31.5% for the main engine and 23.1% for the auxiliary engine, as compared to using only very low sulphur fuel oil. |
With the successful trial, MTM has demonstrated that the use of Biofuels is a practical and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and leads to significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions during the operation of its vessels. MTM aims to expand the use of sustainable Biofuels, together with other technologies, in order to further optimize the company’s Green Strategy.
Capt. Rajiv Singhal, Managing Director of MTM Ship Management, adds “MTM’s mission has always been not only to operate ships at the highest safety standards, but to go beyond regulatory requirements, and always find ways to reduce the environmental footprint of the company’s maritime activities. The ultimate goal being a future with zero GHG emission.” |
