Biomethanol bunkering completed onboard Maersk vessel at Port of Barcelona
Repsol has completed the first bioethanol bunkering operation for a Maersk container vessel at the Port of Barcelona, supplying 2,800 tons of bioethanol to the 16,000 TEU Antonia Maersk.
The operation is among the first of its kind in the Mediterranean and marks another step in the industry’s exploration of alcohol-based marine fuels. The bunkering was carried out under commercial conditions using Bahía Candela, Repsol’s bunker vessel operated by Mureloil, which used its onboard battery system during the fuel transfer to eliminate local emissions.
