Marine Fuels Webinar Week

The maritime industry’s appetite for biofuels is reflected in marine engine development and successful sea-going trials of both biofuel blends and pure biofuels. CBH Group and Oldendorff Carriers Australia’s first biofuel-powered grain ship is preparing to set sail while Maersk Tankers and BP have completed a successful test of biofuel as a drop-in-fuel with no modification to the engine or infrastructure.

Conidia, who supply the industry leading FUELSTAT® test kits for microbiological growth in marine fuels, will be discussing how the higher levels of biofuel in marine fuel blends can lead to increased water entrainment, with a greater potential for MBG. Operators should now be considering the use of test kits, such as FUELSTAT® as part of their regular monitoring regime.
