Leading the Clean Energy Transition
Our maritime services are essential for the construction and ongoing operations and maintenance of offshore wind farms that produce clean renewable electricity, and for the storage and transportation of low-carbon gases including LNG and ammonia - a carrier of hydrogen.
In a future where green hydrogen and its derivatives such as green ammonia are produced using renewable electricity from offshore wind, and as blue hydrogen and its derivatives such as blue ammonia, are produced using carbon capture, our services will be used by our global energy customers across the renewable energy value chain.
We also transport ethane, a low-carbon gas predominantly used to produce ethylene. Ethylene is used in the production of essential goods that society relies on, including construction materials, household appliances, healthcare products, packaging and renewable energy components. By using ethane instead of feedstock derived from crude oil, the carbon footprint of ethylene production is reduced.

Purus is proud to present our inaugural Sustainability Report, which underscores our commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.
This report outlines how Purus identifies and mitigates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks, while capitalising on related opportunities.
Low-carbon vessels and an ambition for part of our fleet to be capable of net zero carbon operations from 2030
Gas
MGCs
Vessels designed to be NH3 dual-fuel ready. NH3 fuel cells availability for hotel load operations under development.
LNGCs
Synthetic/Bio-LNG fuels expected to become more readily available, together with deep-sea CO 2 capture.
VLECs
CO 2 capture expected to become more readily available.
Wind
C/SOVs
C/SOVs fully hybrid with “zero emission mode” capability pending onsite charging. Latest generation vessels designed to be methanol ready.
CTVs
Part of fleet hybrid with latest generation vessels also designed to be methanol ready. Biofuel already offered as client option.
Technology
Electric
Rotterdam uses hybrid and fully-electric ferries. Operations to be fully- electrified.
CO 2 Capture
Carbon capture systems installed on short-sea container vessels. Vessel designed to be LNG and future fuels ready. Decision on fuel choice driven by cost and availability.
Commentary
- Focus on low-carbon newbuild assets incorporating the latest commercially viable technologies
- Expected to reduce carbon emissions upon delivery compared to conventional peer vessels
- Net zero carbon operational capability targeted across parts of our wind, gas and technology fleet by 2030 in terms of fuel source emissions
- Several assets such as our fully-electric ferries are already zero-emission capable
- Phased approach due to evolving landscape of technology commercialisation
We recognise that the decarbonisation journey faces external constraints such as the availability of low-carbon fuels, technology and commercial dependencies, that could impact the timing of achieving our ambition.
Alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our vessels implement the latest in carbon reduction technologies, including fully-electric and battery hybrid propulsion, carbon capture systems, low-carbon fuels and high-impact energy saving devices that reduce carbon emissions immediately, with strategies to further reduce carbon in the future.
Our people who operate our vessels are highly skilled, bringing industry best practices and safe, cost-effective and low-carbon transport solutions. We seek a diverse work environment that fosters equity and inclusion to support a sustainable business.
Our know-how brings together knowledge from multiple sectors to integrate decarbonisation technologies across our business.
Our Memberships & Commitments
Collaboration is at our core.
Beyond working with our customers and suppliers, we work with industry groups across the maritime and energy value chain to develop ideas and foster innovation towards a low-carbon future for all.
