Southampton has ‘greenest ever’ year

[ January 9, 2023   //   ]

DP World says its Southampton container terminal enjoyed its greenest ever year in 2022 after delivering a 55% reduction in net carbon emissions from its fleet and installations.

Southampton plans to become the first port in the UK to eliminate fossil diesel from its operations entirely and transition to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) last April.

DP World’s port operations director at Southampton, Steve McCrindle, said: “We will use HVO for the entirety of 2023 and therefore expect a further 35% net reduction in carbon emissions from our fleet and installations by the end of the year, making for a 90% reduction compared with 2021.”
