Cases

Sustainability at Boskalis goes beyond managing our business and projects in a responsible manner. We seek to leverage our ability to influence and innovate, to create added social, environmental and economic value where we can. These cases illustrate our approach in action.

Biofuel pilot program

In 2015, Boskalis, along with consortium partners GoodFuels Marine of the Netherlands and Finnish engine manufacturer Wärtsilä, launched a two-year biofuel pilot program aimed at accelerating the scalable development of sustainable, reliable and affordable drop-in biofuels for the maritime sector, which could result in significant emissions reductions.

Cradle-to-cradle solutions in the supply chain

Boskalis wants its supply chain to be increasingly sustainable. To make our procurement processes even more sustainable, we have been working ever more closely with our suppliers in recent years. The collaboration with our supplier Vosta LMG (Vosta) for re-using pickpoints is a fine example.

Sustainable ship dismantling

When Boskalis decommissions ships it is standard practice to see to it that they are dismantled both responsibly and safely.

Greater sustainability in the chain

The Meet the Buyer sessions held two years ago with 16 of our strategic suppliers have given rise to concrete chain initiatives in the area of cleaner fuels. Together with our suppliers we conduct constant research into the technical feasibility of using cleaner and more efficient fuels on our equipment. Boskalis makes targeted investments in this research and shares experiences with our clients to broaden the economic applicability.
