Abstract
An ongoing trend of increased environmental awareness and a corresponding willingness to combat climate change influences the dredging industry. Policy developments that encourage contractors to work more sustainable and shifting client demands indicate that the amount of emitted CO2 is becoming an increasingly significant incentive for tender assessment. To increase the probability of winning a tender and make a profit, Van Oord needs to be able to quantify the emitted CO2 during both the engineering phase and the execution phase.
