On June 4, 2025, Regional Container Lines Public Company Limited (RCL), and PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited (OR), Energy Solutions Business, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) “Bio VLSFO Supply Agreement.” This marks the first collaboration in Thailand and abroad to develop and promote the use of biofuel in the container shipping industry, aiming to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from maritime operations.

RCL has been steadfast in building a strong foundation for long-term sustainable growth, placing sustainability as a core pillar of its strategic direction. The company is committed to growing its business in harmony with environmental preservation and social responsibility. In line with our vision for responsible progress, the Company approached the initiative to start using "BIO VERY LOW SULPHUR FUEL OIL” or “BIOFUEL" with the goal of transitioning toward cleaner marine fuels—underscoring our strong commitment to environmental stewardship.

It represents our commitment to sustainability and protecting marine ecosystems, communities, and aquatic life. This proactive step reflects our dedication to adopting eco-friendly alternatives and contributing to global decarbonization efforts. The use of biofuel will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from RCL’s fleet across all service routes.
