DP World Nhava Sheva recognised for contribution to environmental protection

July 19, 2016: DP World, global trade enabler, operated Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal has been conferred with the prestigious Golden Peacock Eco-Innovation Award 2016.

This accolade is for their significant contribution in protecting the environment, with the innovation of the RTG Crane Inverter which aides in saving 374 tonnes of carbon emission and 37,400 trees a year.

Ajay Singh, CEO, DP World Nhava Sheva, said, “In order to advance trade and strengthen competitiveness, it’s a pre-requisite for us to bestow sustainable and innovative offerings that signifies standards and commands the two fold approach of efficiency and economic viability. We at DP World Nhava Sheva are extremely proud to have been able to achieve this with the Green RTGs that benefit in saving fossil fuel, carbon emissions and trees.”

The RTG Crane Inverter qualifies as a high standard product which can be used in different yards using electricity or fuel with efficiency, flexibility and easy operational advantages.

In order to limit the consumption of the main engine of an RTG, the crane uses an auxiliary engine which is a small engine used when the crane is not in operation. This efficiently provides power for lights, emergency devices, communication from the operator’s cabin itself.

The award was presented by Piyush Goyal, Hon'ble Union Minister of State (IC) for Power, Coal, New & Renewable Energy, Government of India to Sagar Mhatre, Head HSE who acknowledged the award on behalf of DP World Nhava Sheva ICT.
