Iqela le-Peel Ports lamkele i-dredger entsha ye-LNG eyonga amandla okokuqala njengoko iqhubeka nokuphucula ukuzinza komsebenzi wayo wokucoca.
Umphathi wezibuko elikhulu lesibini lase-UK wasebenzisa ikontraka yaseDatshi yasemanzini uVan Oord's iVox Apolonia eyophula izibuko leLiverpool kunye neKing George V Dock eGlasgow.
Kokokuqala ngqa ukuba i-LNG ilandele i-hopper dredger isetyenziswe kulo naliphi na izibuko leqela, kwaye kuphela okwesibini ukuba yenze umsebenzi e-UK.
IVox Apolonia isebenzisa irhasi yendalo enyibilikisiweyo (LNG) kwaye inomgangatho osezantsi kakhulu wekhabhoni kunezo dredger ezifunxayo.Ukusetyenziswa kwe-LNG kunciphisa ukukhutshwa kwe-nitrous oxide ngama-90 ekhulwini, kunye nokuphelisa ngokupheleleyo ukukhutshwa kwesulfure.
Iqela le-Peel Ports - elizibophelele ekubeni ngumqhubi we-zero we-net ngo-2040 - kuqala yamkela inqanawa kwi-Port yaseLiverpool kule nyanga, ngaphambi kokuba yenze umsebenzi e-Glasgow, kwaye ibuyele emsebenzini oqhubekayo kwindawo yayo e-Liverpool.
Kwangelo xesha, uVan Oord ukwabonelele nge-hybrid water-injection dredger Maas kwizibuko, idityaniswe okokuqala ngomxube we-biofuel.Inkampani iqikelela ukuba ngoku ikhupha iipesenti ezingama-40 ngaphantsi kwe-CO2e kuneyamanduleli ngelixa isebenzela iqela lezibuko eLiverpool.
Iza njengoko ifem ibonelele ngemikhumbi emine eyahlukileyo ukwenza ukukhutshwa kwejelo leLiverpool kunye needokhi ngaxeshanye.
UGarry Doyle, iGroup Harbour Master kwi-Peel Ports Group, uthe;“Sisoloko sikhangela iindlela zokunciphisa ifuthe lethu kokusingqongileyo kulo lonke izibuko lethu.Sizama ukuba ngu-zero kwiqela lonke ngo-2040, kwaye iVox Apolonia linyathelo elingaphambili ngokweziqinisekiso zayo zokuzinza. ”
"Ukulungiswa kokulungiswa kubalulekile ekuxhaseni ukusebenza kwamazibuko ethu, kunye nokubonelela ngendlela ekhuselekileyo yokuhamba ngeenqanawa ezidlula emanzini ethu," wongeze watsho uDoyle.“Kubalulekile kuthi ukuba sisebenzise iindlela ezonga amandla kangangoko ukwenza lo msebenzi, yiyo loo nto sikhethe iVox Apolonia kule projekthi ibalulekileyo.”
UMarine Bourgeois, uMphathi weProjekthi eVan Oord, uthe: “Sihlala siphanda kwaye sityala imali ukuzisa iinqanawa zethu kwinqanaba elilandelayo malunga nozinzo.Sinokuzinikela kwethu ekufezekiseni ukukhutshwa kwe-net-zero ngo-2050 kwaye iVox Apolonia linyathelo elilandelayo eliya kufikelela kuloo njongo.
Ukulungiswa kwenkunkuma kubandakanya ukushenxiswa kwentlenga eyakhelwe kumajelo asele ekho, iibhedi, iindlela, kunye nezitya zokujingi ezinxulumeneyo.Umsebenzi unceda ukugcina ubunzulu obukhuselekileyo bamanzi kwiinqanawa ezidlula kumazibuko ayo.
