The Port of Rotterdam Authority – in cooperation with the Rotterdam Climate Initiative – has launched a trial involving the use of biofuels to fuel port patrol vessels.
the vessel will be fuelled by HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) renewable diesel, a high-grade alternative to regular diesel oil (also known as EN590), supplied by Neste Oil. The aim is to gain insight into the technical as well as the climate-related and environmental aspects associated with the use of HVO in patrol boats.
RPA 12
The trial will take place at the RPA 12 in the next three months. If the experiment is a success, a more large-scale trial will be held involving several Port Authority patrol boats during a period of one year.
