P&O Ferries has made history on the North Sea, with its vessel, the Pride of Hull, becoming the first ferry on the busy Hull–Rotterdam route to permanently run on lower-carbon biofuel. Following a successful trial, the vessel is now running entirely on B30 – a milestone in P&O Ferries’ journey to cut emissions across its fleet. Now, with the transition to B30, the ferry is cutting lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 20% compared with traditional marine fuel, while maintaining the reliability of services. Stewart Hayes, fleet director for P&O Ferries, said: “By adopting biofuels, we’re helping our freight and passenger customers meet their climate goals while making journeys and supply chains cleaner. “It’s another step towards our ambition for a more sustainable future for ferry travel and trade, part of DP World’s wider commitment to cut emissions by 42% by 2030.
