The ULEV notation, newly developed by BV, recognises performance on ships that exceed existing IMO Marpol requirements for lowering pollutant emissions.
The five Jan De Nul vessels – Sanderus, Ortelius, Tristao Da Cunha, Afonso De Albuquerque, and Diogo Cao – are specifically designed for ultra-low emissions to outperform stringent low emissions operational policies.
The voluntary notation accounts for air quality, including hydrocarbons, carbon, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as particle numbers. For shipowners looking to distinguish their fleets, the ULEV notation helps demonstrate a real and significant commitment to environmental protection.
Jan De Nul Vessels First To Receive New Bureau Veritas Ultra-Low Emissions Notation
Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection, and certification, has developed a new notation to recognize the performance of ultra-low emission vessels (ULEVs). Jan De Nul Group’s newest Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers – SANDERUS, ORTELIUS, TRISTÃO DA CUNHA, AFONSO DE ALBUQUERQUE, and DIOGO CÃO – have now become the first ships to receive this recognition. The Jan De Nul units 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.
