At the beginning of November, a complete renovation of the roro berth at quay 609 in the Brittanniana dock in Port of Zeebrugge will start.
The jetty will be renovated and widened to accommodate CLdN’s larger H5 roro’s. This will allow CLdN to use H5 vessels on all UK desitinations.
There will be no impact on the services to the UK during the four months of renovation work.

“Transitioning to low-carbon fuels will be essential to secure the long-term future of the industry. Methanol offers not only immediate, and urgently required, benefits but the only clear pathway to a sustainable future,” says Stena.
Proman and Stena are committed to jointly developing a Retrofit & Supply solution, enabling both Stena’s vessels as well as third party vessels to experience the immediate environmental benefits and greenhouse gas emission reductions delivered by methanol.
Ferry Shipping News already wrote about this report from XRTC Consultants. Below you can now access the English version of this study.
Seaspan became the first Canadian marine company to pilot the use of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by its LNG-powered fleet. Seaspan expects that data from the pilot will confirm that, by using RNG, greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by upwards of 85 per cent versus traditional diesel fuel.
Seaspan has worked closely with FortisBC Energy Inc. to secure a source of certified carbon neutral RNG.
When bacteria break down organic waste from sources such as landfill sites, agricultural waste and wastewater from treatment facilities, it produces a biogas mostly made of methane. FortisBC captures and purifies this biogas to create RNG, a certified carbon neutral energy source, preventing the release of methane into the environment.
