We are committed to reduce emissions and becoming net-zero, leading to a better, more sustainable world for future generations. To realise this, we are assessing our existing fleet and determining the right modifications for optimising energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The installation of the SCR systems is an excellent example of this strategy. SCR is an advanced emissions control technology. It contains a catalytic converter behind the engine which reduces nitrogen (NOx) emissions to an absolute minimum. ✅ Damen Shipyards Group was contracted to install the SCR system, based on their familiarity with the Nexus.

𝗗𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗺 🚢 Van Oord's dredging work in the Prinses Amaliahaven on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam has been successfully completed. The harbour basin has been deepened to 20 metres below sea level. During the peak of the work, 3 Van Oord vessels were working at the same time, turning the port orange-blue: cutter suction dredger Biesbosch and LNG-powered trailing suction hopper dredgers Vox Apolonia and Vox Alexia. The dredged sand was partly reused in the adjacent Prinses Alexiahaven, where Van Oord is working on a 45-hectare land reclamation project. The dredging works are part of the development of the Prinses Amaliahaven. Together with consortium partners HOCHTIEF and Ballast Nedam, Van Oord is constructing 2 deep-sea quays, an inland shipping quay and some earth-retaining walls. The development will potentially increase annual throughput capacity in the Port of Rotterdam by four million standard containers (TEU). #VanOord #MarineIngenuity #Sustainability #Dredging #PortDevelopment
