In line with the Paris Agreement, Boskalis is committed to its target of becoming climate neutral across its global operations by 2050. “We seek to further reduce emissions from our activities and, at the same time, drive our competitive advantage through our ability to offer a range of accessible,
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects are increasingly gaining more prominence in the race to make the world cleaner and more sustainable, driven by the interest from some of the most important offshore energy players.
Jan De Nul has just introduced the Vaquita 01 – one of their latest Unmanned Survey Vehicles and the little sister of the Beluga 01. With its 2 metres by 1, this vehicle is one of the smallest ones in JDN fleet. Therefore, it can be easily deployed to perform hydrographic measurements in calm inland
With the global oil and gas industry’s income skyrocketing to nearly $4 trillion in 2022, many are of the opinion that this sector holds the purse strings. Will it tighten or loosen them to invest a considerable chunk in the clean energy transition?
As the world faces new challenges in 2023, offshore energy industries are making new plans to deliver on the net-zero target. In addition to marine energy, the fast-growing offshore wind sector is also finding its place among oil and gas players. Example number one: SSE Renewables and Equinor, the d
A successful keel laying ceremony for the second of two water injection dredgers (WIJs) for the Kooiman Marine Group – on behalf of Van Oord – took place last week at Vahali Zasavica. In July 2022, Van Oord ordered the construction of two additional state-of-the-art water injection vessels from Kooi
Van Oord presented the ????????? ???? ????????????? ??????? at InfraTech 2023. Together with KWS, they are reinforcing the dyke over a distance of more than 5 kilometres. Reducing the (carbon) footprint of this project is a leading principle, therefore the work is being carried out as sustainably as
Boskalis has won a contract from the Ministry of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure of the Republic of the Maldives related to the further development of Gulhifalhu – including climate adaptive measures for the island. The contract carries a value of approximately EUR 120 million. This pr
Due to the ongoing sea level rise, the coastline of Togo and Benin in West Africa is eroding by more than two meters every year. The result: houses literally end up in the ocean and the local population – which lives largely from fishing and arable farming – is struggling to make a living. To [&hell
Kiasma, an Italian manufacturer of TP-E (anti-abrasive) pipes, floats and systems specialized for the dredging sector, has joined the ZEDHub (Zero Emission Dredging Hub) Community as the only Italian company – supplier of Technology and Systems. This collaboration is the result of years of research
As we entered into a new year, the mission remained the same. In the next twelve months, the offshore energy sector will continue to work on the steps to ameliorate immediate challenges and climate change impact.
As of the middle of December 2022, Boskalis Nederland has been operating a new completely electric cutter/profile suction dredger. The “BOKA E-Dredge 1” can do the job with a permanent shore connection and is therefore completely emission free. Currently, the dredger is making her first meters in th
Offshore energy industries, which up until recently had little in common, are becoming increasingly intertwined as governments and private sectors step up their game for a more integrated and sustainable energy mix of the future.
Keppel Singmarine Pte Ltd shipyard in Singapore has handed over the second LNG trailing suction hopper dredger Vox Apolonia to Van Oord. After an intensive construction period, colleagues, partners and suppliers came together yesterday (December 13) to celebrate this memorable moment. The state-of-t
