Targets
- Reduce emissions to air while in port by enabling shore power connections for ships and terminals.
-
Reduce the fleet’s CO emissions per nautical mile by 2.5% every year.

Stena Line shall relentlessly strive to improve energy efficiency on shore and at sea and actively stimulate the usage of clean energy sources.
Reduce the fleet’s CO emissions per nautical mile by 2.5% every year.
CO2 emissions per nautical mile have not developed in line with the target but instead slightly increased over the last year. Fuel consumption per unit/distance shipped has however decreased.
Stena Germanica is the world’s first RoPax vessel converted to run on both diesel and methanol. In 2018 the methanol operation was a smooth and well-integrated part of the vessel’s daily operation.
Methanol is usually produced from natural gas but can also be produced from renewable feedstock. Methanol reduces sulphur and particles to zero and lowers NOx substantially.
Stena AB has joined forces with the Swedish research institute RISE and four other parties, aiming to increase the electrification of shipping.
The initiative involves the Swedish Shipowners’ Association, ABB Sweden AB, ABB Marine Oy, and the battery company Northvolt. The organisations will jointly contribute to climate-smart shipping, international competitiveness and increased export opportunities for green technologies.
By connecting a vessel to the local electrical grid when in port, we reduce the CO2 emissions with close to 14,000 tonnes/year. This is equivalent to the annual emissions of 7,500 passenger cars.
We connected our first ship to the grid already in 1989. Presently 14 of our ships and six of the terminals operated by Stena Line are equipped with electric shore power supply. Discussions are underway for further installations in Denmark and Germany.

Stena is now taking the next step in shipping electrification by developing a solution to use recycled batteries in charging stations at ports.
