Flotte Hamburg - The urban fleet from green to zero emission
The Hamburg Fleet operates about 45 ships for the use around the Port of Hamburg, including typical “working ships” (small tug boats, etc.), as well as pilot boats, police boats and fire boats. The consolidation of these different ship categories is a unique project of the City of Hamburg in Germany.
With Port of Hamburg located in the city center, environmental friendliness is a highly important issue. In the past six years the Hamburg Fleet has been taking a pioneering role in local emission reduction and is engaged to lead by example.
As of 2023 the advanced focus is on carbon emission reduction. The new strategy was developed with experts and will be introduced in the presentation together with the underlying concept for an environmental-friendly operation of the fleet.
