Ørsted’s next huge service operation vessel heading into Grimsby will be fuelled by green energy.
The offshore wind developer has partnered with provider Esvagt in what is described as a pioneering agreement, to invest in a multi-million pound boat that can be powered by battery and dual fuel engines - with renewable e-methanol the choice.
Produced from wind energy and crops , the fuel will allow it to save 4,500 tonnes of CO2 compared to vessels it will moor next to in Royal Dock, and will be put to work on Hornsea Two in 2025.
