B24 marine biofuels are made up of a 24% biofuel components blended with 76% conventional marine fuels, typically VLSFO.

Zhejiang Seaport International Trading can now deliver B24 stems by barge in Zhoushan, one of the sources says.

This is likely the first physical supplier to offer biofuel for bunkering in mainland China.

Several suppliers such as Banle Energy, Chimbusco Pan Nation and Helmsman Supply recently launched B24 supply in Hong Kong.
