Boskalis reaches biodiesel agreement with SkyNRG

Dutch dredging and marine contractor Royal Boskalis Westminster has reached an agreement with SkyNRG for the delivery of 250,000 litres of sustainable diesel to be used in a pilot project in the Netherlands involving a number of Boskalis trucks.

The fuel is sourced from used cooking oil and blended with 70% conventional diesel.

Boskalis says the pilot project 'is consistent' with its efforts to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

If the project proves successful, a pilot project on board of one of the Boskalis ships will be contemplated, it has been reported.
