Fairplay Towage, based in Hamburg, Germany, is at the forefront of adopting green technologies for its tug operations in North Europe. The company is exploring the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a fuel alternative in its tugs in key ports such as Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Wilhelmshaven, Rotterdam, and Antwerp. HVO, derived from sustainable resources like waste oil, offers lower emissions and improved sustainability compared to diesel. Fairplay's long-term vision involves introducing hydrogen-fueled tugboats through its FairHydro project to achieve zero-emissions operations. The company has already initiated the construction tender process for these eco-friendly tugboats, aiming to start building in 2025. Additionally, Fairplay has invested in new, efficient tugboats and is exploring the use of low CO2 paints and consumables to further reduce its environmental impact. The company's dedication to sustainability and eco-friendly practices demonstrates its commitment to driving change in the marine industry towards a greener future.
