In Greece, Safety4sea reported that CBH Group has collaborated with Norden and Oldendorff by using waste-based biofuel voyages, and book and claim solutions, to transport Western Australian grain to the European Union.
The biofuel-powered voyages achieved significant emission reductions compared to traditional fossil fuels, at no additional cost to growers in Australia, providing a practical response to new EU regulations impacting all ships over 5,000 gross tonnages calling at European ports, according to the report.
According to CBH, so far, eight voyages transporting Western Australian grain to Europe have used the shipping insetting method.
Pia Van Wyngaard, Head of Shippingm CBH, stated that the co-operative had worked closely with shipping partners to leverage their biofuels expertise to lower CBH’s maritime supply chain emissions.
