Sustainability
We spend every day at sea Safeguarding Tomorrow.
We are in this game because we care
Whatever the challenge, we know we have a responsibility to face it with respect and care for the environment we work in. We have made significant investments in advanced climate mitigation technologies, fleet decarbonisation, and innovative project execution.
An example is the new advanced vessels, equipped with diesel-electric propulsion, powered by dual-fuel engines capable of running on 100% HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil – second-generation biofuels), in addition to large battery packs that enable 100% electric operations.
Our goal is to minimise negative impacts while increasing positive contributions to our oceans and shores.
We are pleased to present our recent Sustainability Reports.

Sustainable initiatives
We are investing heavily in new advanced technologies, work methods, and cutting-edge fuel solutions to reduce the impact on our environment and the surroundings we work in. Selective catalyst reduction, diesel particulate filters, and second-generation biofuels serve as important measures for emission control.
Advanced propulsion systems, combined with innovative and green vessel design, allow us to limit our energy consumption and increase efficiency.
We are currently completing the conversion of one of our largest trailing suction hopper dredgers, Njord R, into the fleet’s largest Hybrid Ultra Low Emission Vessel (ULEV). It will join its sister vessels, which have already set high environmental standards by achieving the same ULEV notation.
