The IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has approved a draft amendment allowing bunker carriers certified as oil tankers to transport biofuel blends of up to B30 - which contain a 30% bio-component - raising the previous limit of 25%.

Under IMO regulations, blends exceeding B30 must be transported on IMO Type II chemical tankers.

According to its website, CPN currently operates five oil bunker delivery vessels for physical deliveries in Hong Kong and Singapore.
