Mediterranean Shipping Company’s announcement over the weekend that it is starting to use biofuel for ships calling at Rotterdam has been quickly overshadowed with a new report issued claiming the containerline has joined the list of the EU’s top 10 polluters.
After a number of trials, MSC stated on Saturday that it would start using biofuels with 30% blends for ships bunkering at Europe’s largest port, which it claimed would cut CO2 emissions for these vessels by 15 – 20%.
