Heerema's vessels are running on clean power from the shore

We are proud to announce that Heerema Marine Contractors’ largest crane vessels, Sleipnir and Thialf have officially switched from using their engines to using Shore Power.
The successful commissioning of the Shore Power project is the result of a partnership between Eneco, the Port of Rotterdam, and Heerema with the support of the Gemeente Rotterdam. There is a global demand to reduce our impact on the planet and the partners involved in the Shore Power project are all dedicated to supporting the energy transition.
The connection built by Heerema, Eneco, and the Port of Rotterdam will supply Sleipnir and Thialf with sustainable energy that will originate from wind turbines located on the headland nearby or from another renewable source should it be required.

What a brilliant milestone and a harbinger of the future for the maritime industry
