No negative impact on climate
We are working towards no negative impact on the climate. Our target is to reduce our fossil CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.
A word from our CEO
For us at Stena Line, sustainability means the ability to sustain three key areas over the long term: the planet, the humans, and our business.
It also means taking responsibility. We know that our operations have played a role in creating climate change, so it is only fair that we are part of the solution. We also realise that as a major company, we possess the ability to drive change and so we share the responsibility to ensure the protection of human rights. This applies not only to our employees but to everyone associated with us. Moving forward, we will intensify our commitment to ensuring human rights and environmental responsibility across all our supply chains. We do it because we want to keep connecting Europe, and make sure there is medicine in the hospitals, food on the shelves, construction materials for the buildings of tomorrow, and that people can travel to see their loved ones. We also do it because we can, and therefore we must.

Embedding sustainability across our business

Stena Line also has a sustainability council responsible for driving specific targets and focus areas.
The list
Here you will find the big little things that we have done on our journey towards a more sustainable future.
Tilted a propeller
Analyzing the Fuel Management System data of Stena Flavia on the Nynäshamn to Ventspils route led to several energy saving changes lowering the fuel consumption and emissions. One of them: a slight tilt of the propeller. Sometimes the smallest things really can make a big difference.
Plugged in another port
In 2017, Port of Trelleborg in southern Sweden was added to our list of onshore-power sharing ports. This allowed another two of our vessels to turn off their engines in favor of green electricity while in port, making a total of 13 Stena ships now connected to onshore power. It also helped us treduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 12,300 tonnes in 2017.
Started pilot testing ultrasonic antifouling
Early 2018 we equipped our first vessel, Stena Hollandica on the Hoek van Holland to Harwich, with ultrasonic transducers on the hull to minimize fouling.
Calculate your carbon emissions
At Stena Line, we're working relentlessly on being a leader in sustainable shipping. Right now, we're working on a solution to calculate CO2 emissions for both passengers and freight.
