I am a little curious about the logistics of this demonstration. How does
the special biodiesel fuel arrive at the refueling stops along the way around
the world? Are the fuel delivery vessels powered by biodiesel?

I don't know the specifics of their logistics, but I would bet that containers, bladders, etc. would be used to ship the relative small quantities aboard a freighter that would likely be using a heavier bunker oil. Sometimes bladders are shipped in 20' or 40' "shipping containers" to transport biodiesel, being that it is not a toxic or hazardous material.
