Hactl signs MOU with Shell Hong Kong expanding HVO use

In China, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) – Hong Kong’s largest independent cargo handler – is entering into a new memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Shell Hong Kong Limited (Shell), covering the supply of renewable diesel fuel for its ramp equipment and road vehicles. Shell is recognizing Hactl as its first Strategic Collaborator on Renewable Diesel initiatives.

The MoU also encompasses strategic collaboration on charging infrastructure for electric road vehicles and ground services equipment at SuperTerminal 1.

Hactl has been working with Shell in a one-year airport-wide programme led by Airport Authority Hong Kong since April 2024, involving some of its ramp tractors, to evaluate the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO). The pilot scheme’s success has driven the extension and expansion of the cooperation, through this new dedicated Hactl/Shell agreement.
