The goal was to build the world\u2019s most environmentally friendly passenger ferry in its class. Now that Wasaline has consumption data from over 12 months, the results look very positive.<\/p>\n<p>During Aurora Botnia\u2019s first year in service Wasaline has been able to cut total CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions by <strong>51,8 percent<\/strong>. Aurora Botnia has more weekly departures than its predecessor Wasa Express. Therefore, the reduction in average emissions per departure is even greater, <strong>67,2 %<\/strong>. The calculations are based on Wasa Express\u2019s first year in service, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Wasa Express used heavy fuel oil and marine diesel as fuels. Aurora Botnia can use liquified natural gas (LNG) or marine diesel as fuel. After Aurora Botnia entered service, total CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions have been reduced from 22\u00a0000 metric tons to 11\u00a0000 tons. Average emissions per departure are down from 29,57 ton to 9,71 ton.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have been able to reduce emissions significantly in a challenging situation where fuel costs have increased rapidly. The reduction would be even greater if we could use LNG all the time. However, the record-high market prices of gas have forced us to use diesel as an alternative&#8221;, says <strong>Peter St\u00e5hlberg<\/strong>, MD of Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our efforts to cut down emissions are never over. We strive to keep Aurora Botnia as the world\u2019s most environmentally friendly ferry now and in the future. We also see the proposed emissions trading in maritime transport as a positive development, as long as the rules treat all shipping companies equally&#8221;, St\u00e5hlberg continues.<\/p>\n<h3>For more information, contact:<\/h3>\n<p>Managing Director Peter St\u00e5hlberg<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:peter.stahlberg@wasaline.com\">peter.stahlberg@wasaline.com<\/a>, tel. +358 40\u00a0559 2353<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Wasaline<\/strong> Wasaline is the northernmost shipping company that transports passengers and cargo daily between Vaasa, Finland and Ume\u00e5, Sweden.
