As on 12 March 2025

It was our pleasure to present to the maritime classification society experts at the ClassNK Kobe Office in Japan.

Our senior technical specialist in Fuel Quality Testing & Management led the session, deep diving into key insights on the topic of ‘Best Practices of BioFuel Usage’.

Setting the narrative, focus was initially placed on understanding the current landscape of BioFuel usage, the main regulatory drivers and commercial considerations. Understanding these foundational aspects is key in understanding the current realities faced in the market.

Building upon this, our specialist moved onto discussing the behavioral characteristics and testing requirements unique to BioFuels – all directly related to important monitoring needs for the optimal usage and management of BioFuels. Essential technical requirements related to BioFuel Bunkering were also covered indepth to further highlight the specific bunkering needs of Biofuels as compared to conventional fuels.

The keen interest shown by ClassNK in this space is reflective of the growing emphasis on achieving sustainability and decarbonization goals in the shipping industry. In this crucial undertaking, adopting reliable and professionally vetted processes will be central in its success.
