The vast majority of the Wagenborg has been switched to Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) as a response on the upcoming sulphur cap starting on January 1st 2020. As off 1st November – two months before the cap comes into force - Wagenborg started to order the new low sulphur compliant fuel.
Since the Ballast Water Management Convention went into force in September last year, various vessels in the Wagenborg fleet have been equipped with a ballast water management system. With a recent order, eight vessels will be added to this list: Maasborg, Dagna, Westborg, Sydborg, Marietje Nora, Marietje Marsilla, Terschelling and Vlieland.
