I-Peel Ports Group yamukele i-dredger entsha ye-LNG eyonga amandla okokuqala ngqa njengoba iqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukusimama komsebenzi wayo wokudonsa.
Umsebenzisi wechweba lesibili ngobukhulu e-UK wasebenzisa usonkontileka wase-Dutch wasolwandle u-Van Oord's Vox Apolonia's ukwenza umsebenzi wokulungisa i-Port of Liverpool kanye ne-King George V Dock e-Glasgow.
Kungokokuqala ukuthi i-LNG trailing suction hopper dredger isetshenziswe kunoma yimaphi amachweba weqembu, futhi okwesibili kuphela yenza umsebenzi e-UK.
I-Vox Apolonia isebenzisa i-liquefied natural gas (LNG) futhi ine-carbon footprint ephansi kakhulu kune-trailing suction hopper dredgers evamile.Ukusetshenziswa kwe-LNG kunciphisa ukukhishwa kwe-nitrous oxide ngamaphesenti angama-90, kanye nokuqeda ngokuphelele ukukhishwa kwesibabule.
I-Peel Ports Group - ezibophezele ekubeni ngumqhubi we-net zero port ngo-2040 - yamukele okokuqala umkhumbi echwebeni laseLiverpool kule nyanga, ngaphambi kokuthi yenze umsebenzi eGlasgow, futhi yabuya ukuze iqhubeke nomsebenzi endaweni yayo e-Liverpool.
Ngaso leso sikhathi, uVan Oord uphinde wahlinzeka nge-hybrid water-injection dredger Maas ethekwini, eboshwe okokuqala ngqa ngengxube ye-biofuel.Inkampani ilinganisela ukuthi njengamanje ikhipha i-CO2e engaphansi ngamaphesenti angama-40 kunamanduleli wayo ngenkathi isebenzela iqembu lechweba eLiverpool.
Kuza njengoba inkampani ihlinzeka ngemikhumbi emine ehlukene ukwenza ukudonsa okubalulekile kwesiteshi seLiverpool namadokodo ngasikhathi sinye.
UGarry Doyle, oyiGroup Harbour Master ePeel Ports Group, uthe;“Sihlale sibheka izindlela zokunciphisa umthelela wethu emvelweni kuwo wonke amachweba ethu.Silwela ukuthi sibe ngu-zero eqenjini lonke ngo-2040, kanti iVox Apolonia iyigxathu elingaphambili ngokwemininingwane yokusimama kwayo.”
"Ukulungiswa kwemishini kubalulekile ekusekeleni ukusebenza kwamachweba ethu, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngendlela ephephile yemikhumbi edabula emanzini ethu," kwengeza uDoyle.“Kubalulekile kithina ukuthi sisebenzise izindlela ezonga amandla okwenza lo msebenzi, yingakho sikhethe iVox Apolonia kulo msebenzi obalulekile.”
U-Marine Bourgeois, uMphathi weProjekthi eVan Oord, uthe: “Sihlala sicwaninga futhi sitshala imali ukuze imikhumbi yethu ifinyelele ezingeni elilandelayo ngokusimama.Sizibophezele ekuzuzeni ukukhishwa kwe-net-zero ngo-2050 futhi i-Vox Apolonia iyisinyathelo esilandelayo esiya kulowo mgomo.”
Ukumbiwa kokulungisa kubandakanya ukususwa kwezinsalela ezakhelwe eziteshini ezikhona, ezindlini zokulala, ezindleleni, nasezitsheni zokushwibeka ezihambisana nazo.Umsebenzi usiza ukugcina ukujula kwamanzi okuphephile emikhunjini edlula emachwebeni awo.
