  Hapag-Lloyd Cruises vessel takes on 100% biofuel for first time

  

  A ship owned by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises has taken on 100% biofuel for the first time. The cruise vessel Hanseatic Spirit bunkered the biofuel in Amsterdam last week, the company said in a Linkedin post. The fuel was provided by GoodFuels, Ship & Bunker said.
  
  The ship has also now tested its shore power connection for the first time in Hamburg.
  
  "Since 2020, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises' new expedition class has been using marine gas oil 0.1 per cent, a particularly low-sulphur fuel, entirely on its own," the company said in the post.
  
  "Back in 2022, sister ship Hanseatic Inspriration successfully tested a blend of 30% biofuel and marine gas oil.
  
  "This certified biofuel, obtained from edible oil residues, reduced CO2 emissions by up to 90% compared to fossil fuels and contains hardly any sulphur oxides.
  
  "In Amsterdam, Hanseatic Spirit has now completely switched to an environmentally friendly second-generation biofuel produced from residues and waste materials for the first time."
