Our marina has its own fuel station directly on the waterfront. At our fuel station, you can refuel with HVO100, the renewable alternative to GTL, as well as Super 98 petrol.

HVO stands for Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil. HVO100 is a renewable diesel fuel produced by treating oils and fats with hydrogen. The feedstocks can include waste and residual materials such as used cooking and frying oils, animal fats and plant-based residues. The production process results in a fuel whose properties are very similar to those of fossil diesel.

Benefits of HVO100

HVO100 offers several benefits compared with fossil diesel:

• Lower CO₂ emissions: Depending on the feedstocks used and the production chain, HVO can significantly reduce CO₂ emissions over its entire life cycle compared with fossil diesel.
• Lower emissions: In certain engines, the use of HVO100 can result in lower emissions of, among other things, particulate matter and soot.
• Suitable for many diesel engines: Many modern diesel engines are approved for use with HVO100. Always check your engine manual or consult the engine manufacturer to confirm that your engine is approved for HVO100.
• Lower water absorption: HVO100 absorbs less water than fossil diesel. This can help reduce problems caused by water in the fuel tank and the associated growth of microorganisms.
• Less smoke and diesel odour: HVO100 can burn more cleanly, which may result in less visible smoke and a less pronounced diesel odour while cruising.
• Smooth engine operation: Depending on the engine and operating conditions, HVO100 can contribute to smoother and more consistent combustion.

By switching to HVO100, we are taking another step towards making our fuel supply more sustainable. The use of HVO100 is therefore part of Jachthaven De Drait’s sustainability policy.
