Rotterdam Port Authority and Eneco to Build Onshore Power Facilities for Boskalis Vessels

Boskalis Vessels Switch To Green Shore Power Facility In Rotterdam

The Port of Rotterdam Authority and Eneco are going to construct shore-based power facilities in the Waalhaven, Rotterdam (the Netherlands) so that moored Boskalis vessels can run on green electricity instead of fossil fuels.

The shore-based power installation will be built on the Boskalis site in Waalhaven, Rotterdam. There are two berths on the quay at this location, which are both frequently used. Vessels come to the Boskalis Waalhaven location for maintenance and to be mobilized for offshore...

Boskalis Retrofits Selected Offshore Vessels Resulting In Significant Emissions Reductions

boskalis offshore vessels

Boskalis will convert numerous vessels within its Offshore Energy division into hybrid vessels through the retrofitting of Energy Storage Systems, or ‘power packs’. The conversions, which entail a sizable capital investment, will reduce the vessels’ fuel consumption and associated carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions by an average of up to twenty percent.

The systems also provide a power supply and energy storage facility while the vessels are docked and contribute to quieter and more...
