Jan De Nul Group looking at switching dredging vessels to 100% renewable fuel

In Belgium, for its maritime fleet, Jan De Nul Group goes for 100% renewable fuel, a certified sustainable substitute for fossil fuel made from waste flows. Since the end of 2019, the first Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger is sailing in Zeebrugge on 100% biofuel. Jan De Nul Group is now considering this switch for other dredging vessels. Jan De Nul Group’s newest Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger Sanderus has just arrived in Belgium to execute maintenance dredging works in the coastal ports. It is an ULEv with ultra-low emissions as this vessel has a two-stage catalytic filter system on board and three more similar vessels are currently under construction in Singapore.
