07 Mar 2023 / Lowestoft, United Kingdom
ABP’s Port of Lowestoft [has welcomed its] newest and most sustainable, multi-purpose work boat, the Gannet.
The craft’s principal function is to support the efficient collection of litter, debris and aquatic vegetation from the water surface, and it will play a vital role in helping to keep Lowestoft Harbour and Lake Lothing clear of pollution. The Gannet’s sustainability contribution to the Port of Lowestoft extends beyond the collecting of litter. It is hybrid-powered, with its solar-panelled roof generating green electricity and is made from recycled aluminium, which can be recycled again at the end of its life…
…The vessel’s developers – Water Witch – are a Liverpool-based, family-owned business, who have developed a range of workboats that can be used to perform a wide range of duties in addition to debris removal. The Gannet is their Versi-Cat Trash Skimmer, and was delivered to the Port of Lowestoft on Wednesday 1 March 2023 to function as the ports new primary work boat…
…ABP’s investment in the Gannet is the latest step in its recently published its wide-ranging new sustainability strategy – Ready for Tomorrow – which is backed by a plan to invest around £2 billion across decarbonising its own operations by 2040 at the latest and in major infrastructure projects to enable the wider UK energy transition.
