China Classification Society’s Singapore branch signed a four-party research-cooperation agreement in October to test B100 biodiesel on a ship for 1,000 continuous hours in Singapore port waters.
CCS signed the agreement with Weichai Singapore Pte. Ltd., Marine Energy and Sustainability Research Department of Nanyang Technological University, and Pinnacle Marine in Singapore.
B100 biodiesel is one of the solutions for the shipping industry to move towards net-zero emissions.
According to CCS, this joint project is the first long-term ship test of B100 in Singapore.
