In an effort to boost biofuel-driven carbon reduction services across the container industry, sustainable cargo initiative GoodShipping successfully collaborated with leading container shipping liner Ocean Network Express (ONE).
Under their collaboration, ONE’s 4,803 TEU “MOL EXPERIENCE” was refuelled with sustainable marine biofuel at the Port of Rotterdam for GoodShipping pioneers Dopper, Blygold, Geelen Counterflow, Yumeko, North Actionsports Group, Srface, and Zaytoun.

As explained, by accepting a volume of the sustainable biofuel on the MOL EXPERIENCE on behalf of GoodShipping’s customers, ONE managed to enable a reduction in each cargo owner’s carbon footprint by 100% on any given journey.
During the trial, the vessel was supplied by GoodShipping’s sister company GoodFuels. In fact, the biofuel is considered as a carbon-busting solution that delivers an 80-90% well-to-exhaust carbon reduction compared to fossil fuel equivalents, that also eliminates virtually all SOx emissions.
Following the trial, ONE goals to meet the IMO’s carbon reductions goals by 2030 and 2050 respectively, while empowering GoodShipping’s cargo owners closer to carbon-neutral transportation.
“ONE is a prime example of a container company who shares our goal of changing the way the industry thinks about future fuels. At GoodShipping, we empower the transition to fossil-free transport by enabling cargo owners to switch to advanced biofuel and change the way they do business. We look forward to continued collaboration with ONE and all our partners to advance sustainability in shipping and continue the path towards decarbonisation.”
…Katarin van Orshaegen, Commercial Lead, GoodShipping, said.
Concluding, both companies will continue to work together after the trial, ensuring that all customers are fully supported in their journey to reduce carbon emissions.
