Danish port to go electric

[ November 10, 2023   //   ]

The Port of Kalundborg on Sjaelland island, 50km west of Copenhagen, Denmark, says it will electrify all cranes at its deep-water container terminal within the next seven months.

In the short term the terminal, operated by APM Terminals since March 2021will operate container handling equipment in on HVO100 fuel (hydrotreated vegetable oil), reducing CO2 emissions by 90%.

The announcement was made on October 31 ahead of the first call at the terminal by Laura Maersk, the world’s first hydrogen powered container vessel.

Kalundborg will become one of only a handful of APM Terminals to use the biofuel, joining APM Terminals Gothenburg and P400 in Los Angeles which has used a similar renewable diesel since 2021.
