Van Oord, together with ZEDHub, Smart Delta Drechtsteden, the Municipality of Dordrecht, and the Port of Rotterdam, successfully completed a groundbreaking pilot project involving the fully electrified crane vessel Christiaan P. This initiative, supported by the Regio Deal Drechtsteden-Gorinchem, marked the first instance of a dredging vessel operating entirely emission-free, setting a significant milestone for sustainable practices in the maritime industry. The vessel, typically used for dredging and marine engineering projects, underwent extensive modifications for the pilot, such as replacing diesel engines with electric motors, upgrading the crane to an electric version, and installing two DENS Powerhub mobile battery systems and hydrogen storage for power. Researchers evaluated the efficiency of battery-electric dredging by measuring energy consumption in various scenarios and exploring the feasibility of continuous charging using hydrogen. ZEDHub, a collaborative platform, aims to drive the transition to zero-emission dredging by 2030 through technological advancements, regulatory support, and financial strategies, emphasizing the importance of innovation and sustainability in the maritime sector.
