Sustainability

Leading the Clean Energy Transition


Our maritime services are essential for the construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms that produce clean renewable electricity, and for the storage and transportation of low-carbon gases including LNG and ammonia - a carrier of hydrogen.


In a future where green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia are produced using renewable electricity from offshore wind, and as blue hydrogen and its derivatives such as blue ammonia are produced using carbon capture, our services will be used by our global energy customers across the renewable energy value chain.


We also transport ethane, a low-carbon gas predominantly used to produce ethylene. Ethylene is used in the production of essential goods that society relies on, including construction materials, household appliances, healthcare products, packaging and renewable energy components. By using ethane instead of feedstock derived from crude oil, the carbon footprint of ethylene production is reduced.

Ultra-low carbon vessels and an ambition to be net zero carbon by 2030


Gas

MGCs

NH 3 fuel cells available for hotel load operations in near-term. NH 3 dual-fuel engines under development.

LNGCs

Synthetic/Bio-LNG fuels expected to become more readily available, together with deep-sea CO 2 capture.

VLECs

CO 2 capture expected to become more readily available.

Wind

C/SOVs

C/SOVs fully hybrid with “zero emission mode” capability pending onsite charging. Latest generation vessels are methanol ready.

CTVs

Primarily hybrid, latest generation are also methanol ready. Biofuel already offered as client option.

Technology

Electric

Rotterdam uses hybrid and fully-electric ferries. Operations to be fully- electrified.

CO 2 Capture

Carbon capture systems to be installed on Feeder Container vessels in H1 2024. Vessel designed LNG and future fuels ready. Decision on fuel choice driven by cost and availability.

Alignment with UN sustainable development goals


Our vessels implement the latest in carbon reduction technologies, including fully-electric and battery hybrid propulsion, carbon capture systems, lower-carbon fuels and high-impact energy saving devices that reduce carbon emissions immediately, with strategies to further reduce carbon in the future.


Our people who operate our vessels are highly skilled, bringing industry best practices and safe, cost-effective and low-carbon transport solutions. We seek a diverse work environment that fosters equity and inclusion to support a sustainable business.


Our know-how brings together knowledge from multiple sectors to integrate de-carbonization technologies across our business.

Our partnerships & initiatives


Collaboration is at our core.


Beyond working with our customers and suppliers, we work with industry groups across the maritime and energy value chain to develop ideas and foster innovation towards a lower carbon future for all.
