Holland America Line has initiated a long-term biofuel trial on its flagship, Rotterdam, utilizing 100% low carbon intensity biofuel during its voyage through the Norwegian World Heritage Fjords. The vessel was fueled with biofuel prior to departing from the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on April 27, 2024, and will run one of its four engines on low carbon intensity oil sourced from organic waste or residues that are certified in accordance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive while navigating through the Fjords. The sustainable biofuel, GoodFuels MR1-100, provided by FincoEnergies, is expected to result in an 86% reduction in life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions. The ship's first tests will take place on one of its four engines throughout the cruises scheduled for this month. There is a possibility of extending these tests to multiple engines during the summer, while the ship operates in the Norwegian World Heritage Fjords, namely Geirangerfjord and Nærøyfjord.
