SOUTHAMPTON, England, July 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DP World, the Global Smart Logistics Partner of SailGP, has successfully delivered SailGP’s high-performance F50 catamarans and equipment to the Port of Southampton.

DP World Southampton, where the SailGP fleet arrived in the UK, is targeting the achievement of being the first UK port to operate as a net-zero hub, using 100% hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to power its fleet of straddle carriers and handling equipment.

This switch has resulted in an 80%+ reduction in net emissions, offering a forward-looking glimpse into the future of portside operations.
