NKT has certified its cable-laying Vessel NKT Victoria to use biofuels such as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
The certification allows NKT to reduce the carbon footprint from the vessels fuel consumption with more than 98%. The biofuel certification of NKT Victoria was conducted by DNV.
In September 2023, the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) validated NKT’s short-term decarbonisation targets.
The HVO certification of NKT Victoria is an important step towards achieving the SBTi-approved target of reducing scope 1 and 2 by 90% in 2030 compared to 2019.
“With the biofuel certification of NKT Victoria, we once again show our sustainability commitment as a leading company in the industry,” said Claes Westerlind, President and CEO of NKT.
“This will lead to significant reductions in the carbon emission from our offshore operations and is a key element in our reaching science-based decarbonisation targets. Operating on biofuel also allows us to continue to meet our customer’s increasing expectations for low-carbon operations.”
