Dirk Kronemeijer, CEO of GoodFuels Marine: ‘Port of Amsterdam and Port of Rotterdam have actively supported the development of marine biofuels from the beginning. This is why we are especially pleased that, after a successful pilot, Port of Amsterdam will be able to reduce the CO2 emissions of its own patrol vessels by 25%. We are in turn committed to further invest in the Port in the field of the storage, production and distribution of sustainable marine biofuels in order to accelerate the development towards clean and low-carbon shipping.’
Tjerk Wagenaar, Director of Natuur & Milieu: ‘Port of Amsterdam is taking a great step forward in making its operations more sustainable through this measure. The transition to sustainable advanced biofuels is an excellent example of how shipping can reduce its CO2 emissions.’
