DP World runs the UK’s most advanced logistics hubs: two deep water ports at Southampton and London Gateway with access to freight rail terminals, and a rapidly expanding logistics park on the doorstep of the capital.
The news represents a major step forward for DP World’s ambitious plans to reduce emissions after Southampton became the first port in the UK to eliminate fossil diesel from its operations entirely and transition to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) last April.
DP World estimates the switch from diesel to HVO at the port saves around 14,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually – the equivalent of taking more than 8,000 family cars off the roads.
