Stena Line lowers sulphur emissions

The ferry shipping company’s annual sustainability report showed it also managed the installation of shore side electricity on two vessels in the Port of Trelleborg; doubled the use of gentle Ecolabel detergents onboard 38 vessels; tested new anti-fouling techniques including ultra sound to reduce friction; and upgraded its ISO14001 certification to 2015 standard with a new wider scope.

“We are constantly taking small and big steps towards becoming a leader in sustainable shipping and we are happy to present this year’s overview which clearly shows that Stena Line is continuing to deliver on its ambitious targets,” said Erik Lewenhaupt, head of sustainability at Stena Line.

‘A Sustainable Journey’ analyses how Stena Line delivers on the sustainability targets it presented in 2016. It also highlights sustainability activities from across the Stena Line network in 2017.

Stena Line’s sustainability strategy is based on the UN sustainable development goals, which focus on clean energy, responsible consumption, life below water and health & wellbeing.
