Jan De Nul dredgers 1st to receive new Bureau Veritas ultra-low emissions notation February 3, 2021, by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Jan De Nul Group’s newest trailing suction hopper dredgers – SANDERUS, ORTELIUS, TRISTÃO DA CUHNA, AFONSO DE ALBUQUERQUE, and DIOGO CÃO – are the first ships to receive the new notation of Bureau Veritas (BV) that recognizes the performance of ultra-low emission vessels (ULEVs).
These JDN vessels are specifically designed for ultra-low emissions, including installation of a two-stage catalytic filter system, and can outperform the most stringent low emissions operational policies.
The ULEV notation is Bureau Veritas’ newest recognition for ultra-low emission vessels. It can be assigned to ships that exceed existing MARPOL requirements for lowering pollutant emissions.
