OK Slurink and NPRC together towards sustainable inland navigation<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]On a sunny, slightly cloudy Friday morning in May, the MS Celeste of Shipping Company Celeste BV calls at OK Slurink’s bunkering station in Lobith. Indeed, for some time now, Wim and Sandra Koopmans’ 105-meter motor freighter has been running on HVO100, available from OK Slurink as Neste MY Renewable Diesel.<\/p>\n

“Since we switched to Neste MY the engine starts a lot better”<\/h2>\n

Wim Koopmans (MS Celeste): “Now that we have started bunkering Neste MY HVO100 at OK Slurink instead of fossil gasoil, we can significantly reduce our CO2 emissions with immediate effect. Up to 90%! The great thing is that we didn’t have to change anything about our ship or engines for this, but so now we can transport a lot more sustainably.” And that is not the only advantage Koopmans has experienced since switching to Neste MY Renewable Diesel: “I have been keeping a sharp eye on the performance of the engine, which has remained the same. In fact, since we switched to Neste MY, the engine starts a lot better.”<\/p>\n

Member of the NPRC<\/h2>\n

The MS Celeste, carrier of dry cargo – in this case salt – is one of more than 150 members of the NPRC, a cooperative of inland waterway operators that specializes in transporting dry cargo through European waters. The NPRC believes in a sustainable future. Robert van Vliet, Commercial Development Manager at NPRC: “We think it is important to be able to make a concrete contribution as a cooperative to cleaner inland navigation, especially by reducing emissions.”<\/p>\n
