Cargill partners with Kotug for zero-emission electric barge

Cargill has partnered with Kotug International to deploy Kotug’s zero emission E-Pusher and E-Barges, the world’s first fully electric pusher boat and barges to transport cocoa beans from the Port of Amsterdam, the largest cocoa import port in the world, to Cargill’s cocoa factory in Zaandam, the Netherlands.

The boats will run on green energy from the wind farm that Cargill and Vattenfall operate in partnership with Windpark Hanze.
