Cargill deploys zero- emission transport for cocoa beans
Cargill has partnered with Kotug International to deploy Kotug’s zero emission E-Pusher™ and E-Barges, the world’s fi rst fully electric pusher boat and barges to transport cocoa beans from the Port of Amsterdam, the largest cocoa import port in the world, to Cargill’s cocoa factory in Zaandam, the Netherlands. Pushers and barges are essential, effi cient methods
of delivering goods by water from Dutch ports to the Netherlands and beyond. Cargill has become the fi rst company in the world to put into operation fully electrifi ed pusher and barges for inland shipping, eliminating both emissions and noise pollution. The fully electric pusher boats and barges are expected
to reduce CO2 emissions by 190.000 kg per year, the equivalent of 15 000 one-way trips by truck from the Port of Amsterdam to Cargill’s cocoa factory in Zaandam. The boats will run on green energy from the wind farm that Cargill and Vattenfall operate in partnership with Windpark Hanze. “Cargill is committed to nourishing the world in a
safe, responsible, and sustainable way. Electrifying the transportation of our cocoa beans is just one example of how we are implementing new, innovative sustainable practices to reduce our impact on the planet and protect people. The KOTUG E-pusher Type M is the fi rst-of-its-kind and Cargill is excited to be a partner in launching it in the Netherlands,” said Emiel van Dij k, Managing Director Cocoa & Chocolate Europe & West Africa.
