About 13% of the 17,300 m3 of LNG Total supplied to the new gas powered boxship was biomethane.

Spokesperson’s Comment

“This biomethane is a one-off, delivered as a spot contract, but a world premiere scale and promising one.”

That was a view that informed the delegates’ discussions as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) met in mid-November discussing, among other things, the transitional period from fossil fuels to zero emission vessels. It is interesting to note that...

Carriers move to mitigate Tianjin reefer bottleneck

Major liner operators are imposing congestion surcharges for reefers bound for Tianjin port, as Chinese authorities step up Covid-19 checks on frozen food imports, causing delays to discharge cargoes.

The Covid-19 virus has been detected on imported food items from countries such as Ecuador and Brazil and has led the Chinese government to scrutinise cargo to prevent dockers from infection. As reefers are held up for inspection in Tianjin, all reefer plugs are fully utilised, preventing the...
