Over the past 15 years, Viking Line has succeeded in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from its vessels by nearly a third.
More specifically, Carbon dioxide emissions from Viking Line’s vessels have decreased 30% per nautical mile since 2008. One factor behind this significant reduction is the company’s environmental work consisting of a wide variety of measures.
The measures that have had the greatest impact are the 450 million euros invested in two climate-smart vessels on the Baltic Sea: Viking Grace, which made its maiden voyage in 2013, and Viking Glory, which was placed in service in March.
We have mainly achieved emission reductions through innovative technological solutions that are not very visible to passengers. The technology is developing at a rapid pace, and many of these innovations originated in Finland
says Dani Lindberg, Sustainability Manager at Viking Line.
In addition, Dani Lindberg explained that “on board Viking Grace alone, the intelligent, need-based ventilation system saves the same amount of energy that all of our offices and warehouses use in one year. And that is just the case of a single technological innovation on one vessel. It is also crucial how the vessel is used and operated.”
