Van Oord finished coastal maintenance on the island of Noord‑Beveland, delivering 1 million m³ of sand onto and just inland from the Banjaardstrand. The work was carried out with the LNG‑powered dredger Vox Apolonia, which ran exclusively on 100 % bio‑LNG fuel. The project, commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat as part of its Kustlijnzorg programme, aims to keep the coast in place and protect the Netherlands from the sea. The use of bio‑LNG aligns with both companies’ sustainability goals and is supported by Van Oord’s Green Fuel Fund, which reduces the cost of renewable fuels. The project demonstrates that large‑scale coastal work can be performed with minimal emissions. Next year Van Oord will conduct similar sand supplements at Goeree‑Westkop and Heemskerk.
