In a historic milestone for China’s maritime fuel sector, Chimbusco Pan Nation Petro-Chemical Co Ltd (CPN) has successfully completed the country’s largest marine biofuel bunkering operation to date. On 15 May 2025, CPN delivered an unprecedented 6,300 metric tonnes of B24-VLSFO (Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil) to the container vessel XIN LOS ANGELES in Hong Kong, breaking its own previous record of 5,500 MT set just three months earlier in February.
The bunkering was executed seamlessly, leveraging the full capabilities of CPN’s extensive barge fleet—the largest of its kind in Hong Kong—and the precision of its experienced operations team. This achievement further cements CPN’s role as a market leader in the supply of sustainable marine fuels across Asia.
A Milestone in Sustainable Shipping
The delivery of 6,300 MT of B24 marine biofuel marks a significant advancement in the maritime industry’s journey toward decarbonization. B24 biofuel is a blend containing 24% biodiesel, designed to help reduce carbon emissions from ocean-going vessels without requiring major engine modifications. By facilitating high-volume deliveries of B24, CPN continues to support the global shift toward low-emission maritime logistics.
This operation highlights Chimbusco Pan Nation’s capability to manage large-scale biofuel bunkering with both efficiency and reliability. It reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to operational excellence and its strategic focus on delivering sustainable marine fuel solutions.
Operational Excellence and Green Innovation
Executing a bunkering operation of this magnitude requires not only robust logistics but also meticulous coordination between supply chain stakeholders. CPN’s success in this record-breaking delivery highlights the strength of its internal systems and the commitment of its Alternative Fuels Team.
The company has made sustainability a core pillar of its long-term strategy, positioning itself as a critical enabler in the maritime sector’s energy transition. Through consistent investments in alternative fuels, fleet expansion, and operational training, CPN is helping to ensure that the infrastructure for cleaner shipping is both stable and scalable.
Commitment to Sustainability
CPN’s dedication to reducing carbon emissions and supporting green shipping practices is not new. Since its founding in 1991, the company has evolved from a local Hong Kong bunker supplier into a globally recognized trading house and physical supplier. With strategic operations in Hong Kong and Singapore—two of the world’s busiest maritime hubs—CPN has consistently demonstrated leadership in fuel quality, delivery efficiency, and sustainable growth.
Today, CPN operates Hong Kong’s largest barge fleet and is at the forefront of marine fuel innovation, actively promoting the use of biofuels, LNG, and other low-carbon alternatives in the shipping sector.
Looking Ahead
As regulatory bodies and shipping companies around the world tighten emissions targets and pursue greener alternatives, the demand for sustainable marine fuels like B24 biofuel is expected to grow rapidly. CPN’s latest achievement positions the company as a trusted and forward-thinking partner ready to meet the evolving needs of the maritime industry.
