Hamburg Fleet trials palm-oil free HVO 100

Hamburg Fleet has announced that is currently testing 100% hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO 100) biofuel on three of its vessels.

The fuel produced from food waste and free of palm oil, is supplied by Friedrich G. Frommann GmbH & Co. and Shell and meets the EU’s RED II sustainability criteria, according to a statement from the Hamburg Port Authority.

Furthermore, Karsten Schönewald, Managing Director, Hamburg Fleet, described HVO 100 as the most practical interim solution for inland waterway vessels. The fuel is reported to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80%.
