Jan De Nul Inks Two Contracts with TenneT
will be installed simultaneously using the three carousels and fiber optic tank onboard the Fleeming Jenkin.Apart from the ULEv technology, the ship is equipped with hybrid engines that can run on both biofuel and green methanol. This significantly reduces CO2 emissions. The 2.5 MWh battery and drive technology optimizes energy use on board. Fleeming Jenkin will meet the strictest standards on emissions, such as the European Stage V and EURO VI emission standards
