Copenhagen-headquartered towage giant Svitzer has delivered its first EcoTow solution in Australia to Höegh Autoliners first Aurora-class vessel, Höegh Aurora. Already claiming the title of “the world’s largest, greenest PCTC,” the 9,100 car capacity vessel used the EcoTow solution on its recent maiden voyage to four ports in Australia.
EcoTow is Svitzer’s proprietary carbon insetting solution. With the EcoTow solution, the carbon emissions from towage jobs are mass balanced by carbon credits generated by Svitzer’s use of biofuel across its international towage operations. The neutralization effect is established by an external auditor and documented through certification and assurance reporting.
According to Svitzer, it provided a near 100% reduction in CO2 emissions relating to the towage operations of Höegh Aurora’s port calls during her maiden voyage to Australia.
Towage is one of the largest carbon emitters in port operations in Australia, and Svitzer has a comprehensive decarbonization strategy targeting its reduction, including via biofuel and battery
