Hamburg first

Jan De Nul Group has confirmed it is using solely second-generation biofuel for maintenance dredging works in the Port of Hamburg, representing a first in Germany. This fuel actually contains no petroleum but instead processed vegetable waste oil as a raw material. The dredging works commenced in June 2021, using two suction hopper dredgers, with the project slated for completion in December 2021. This biofuel has already been used in the Benelux region too.
