During 2020 we reduced our CO2 emissions more than we reduced the distance we sailed. Our fleet became more modern and energy efficient with the introduction of three next generation E-Flexer ferries, the introduction of the AI assistant Stena Fuel Pilot on five more vessels as well as the introduction of green shore power connection in Kiel. The Global Sulphur Cap introduced on 1 January 2020 led to a sharp decline in sulphur emissions when our whole Irish Sea fleet switched to low sulphur fuel. We also increased the use of renewable electricity in the shore operation.
Affordable and clean energy
As with the rest of society, the shipping industry needs new solutions to make the transition to clean energy and fossil free fuel. Stena Line has taken on this challenge by focusing on projects within clean energy technology and energy efficiency to reduce emissions both on shore and at sea. Our long term target is to reduce our gross CO2 emissions by 30 % until 2030 (baseline 2019) and reach zero emission by 2050.
Targets
- Reduce CO2 emissions from ships
- Reduce SOx emissions from ships
- Renewable electricity in shore operation
- On shore power connections
- Punctuality across the fleet
Outcome 2020
- Our total CO2 emissions decreased by 12 % and by 2,3 % per nautical mile.
- Our SOx emissions decreased by 60,6 %.
- Renewable electricity used in our shore operation increased from 82 to 99,8 %.
- 25 % of all terminals offers shore power connections
- Our punctuality decreased slightly to from 66 to 63 %.
