Well-to-take emissions, upstream and out of the control of ship operators, will have to be factored in.This week, MarineLink reported that a CMA-CGM vessel bunkered bio-LNG in Rotterdam, and it highlighted another upstream complication: the need to verify the sustainable origins of any new fuel used.
