The Port of Antwerp-Bruges has introduced Volta 1, the first fully electric tugboat in Europe, demonstrating its dedication to environmentally friendly practices. Developed in partnership with Damen Shipyards Group, Volta 1 joins the pioneering Hydrotug and Methatug, which utilize hydrogen and methanol, respectively. This new vessel, featuring a unique design and impressive capabilities, matches the performance of traditional diesel tugs while operating emission-free. With a focus on sustainability, the port is replacing older vessels with energy-efficient models and exploring various alternative fuels like hydrogen and methanol to assess their viability. Volta 1, equipped with lithium-titanium-oxide batteries, boasts a towing capacity of 70 tons and swift speeds, ensuring efficient port operations. The port's strategy includes a greening program to transition to the most sustainable solutions available, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint significantly. By incorporating advanced technologies and testing different fuel options, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges aims to lead by example in the maritime industry's shift towards eco-conscious practices. The collaboration with Damen Shipyards Group has been pivotal in achieving the port's environmental targets, with the construction and delivery of the RSD tugs symbolizing a milestone in sustainable shipping. The efficient preparation and deployment of these vessels highlight a shared commitment to green innovation. As the port celebrates 150 years of tug service, the introduction of Volta 1 serves as a beacon of sustainable progress and signifies a significant step towards a more environmentally friendly maritime sector.
