Sustainable Ships performed a techno-economic feasibility study for the Province of South-Holland and InnovationQuarter on offshore charging of tankers at the anchorage at Scheveningen. We made a purpose-build tool for interactive parametric design to create insights for decision-making. The study determined that offshore charging of tankers is technically and economically feasible, but requires ‘first movers’ amongst shipowners.

Sustainable Ships provided Van Oord with support on building their own Decarbonizer tool, to be used for scenario planning and long-term decision making with regards to sustainability.

Sustainable Ships provided Port of Rotterdam with a detailed Shore Power report, a customized techno-economic feasibility study that estimates costs and provides an overview of the technical challenges, standards and retrofit options required to accomodate shore power on board a vessel.

Sustainable Ships provided Damen Shipyards with a Rules and Regulations report, a 100+ paged report on upcoming rules and regulations with regards to sustainability. We helped them with interpreting rules such as EEXI and CII, calculate approximate costs for EU ETS, and investigated beyond the regulatory bodies into energy majors’ ambitions, ports and shipping companies.

Sustainable Ships provided Steenstra Shipping a Decarbonizer report, a customized roadmap for carbon reduction measures on board. We helped them with interpreting upcoming rules and regulations such as EEXI, determine approximate costs for carbon reduction measures like shore power, and had a look at using the existing economizer for alternative purposes. They will use the roadmap as a basis for long-term decision-making with regards to sustainability.

One of our crew members was a key driver in Heerema’s ambitious decision to make the company Carbon Neutral, compensating 250.000 [mT] of CO2 per year.

One of our crew members realized the largest shore power connection in Rotterdam - 20MW - from inception, to design, up to project management and execution.
