Innovating for a Greener Future

As Port Esbjerg expands, Rohde Nielsen stays committed to developing and scaling operations while fostering innovation and collaboration with industry partners.

Rohde Nielsen is an example of a partner at the port, integrating new technologies to ensure greener operations, reduce environmental impact, and enhance efficiency across their operations and projects. Both in terms of playing a key role in the deeping of Grådyb fairway, but also through innovation and operations.

Diesel-Electric Propulsion & Dual-Fuel Technology
Rohde Nielsen’s latest vessels are equipped with diesel-electric propulsion systems powered by dual-fuel engine capable of running on 100% HVO biofuel. This next-generation setup can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, while large battery packs further optimize fuel consumption by up to 30% and enable fully electric port operations.

Smart Operations with DCMS
Efficiency and sustainability go hand in hand. Rohde Nielsen’s DCMS (Dredging Control Management System), utilizes real-time data analytics to fine-tune dredging operations, ensuring minimal energy waste and reducing fuel consumption.

Optimizing operations and driving growth are a cornerstone in what we do at the port.

Building with Nature: A Holistic Approach
Rohde Nielsen combines advanced technology with natural processes to create sustainable marine solutions. Rohde Nielsen also takes active steps to restore affected marine areas, by establishing artificial reefs and initiating seagrass restoration projects.

All in the favour of enhancing biodiversity and strengthen climate resilience in marine environments.

At Port Esbjerg, they are pleased to see Rohde Nielsen’s commitment and implementation of sustainable solutions both during their operations and once they are completed —contributing to a more sustainable and biodiverse maritime industry, healthier marine ecosystems, and long-term environmental resilience.
