A train transportation from Spain up to Vaasa via Swedish rail network produces 5 times less carbon dioxide compared to the truck and ferry solution of today. Lead times are also very competitive\u201d, Ehrs continues.<\/p>\n<p>During Aurora Botnia\u2019s first year in service Wasaline was able to cut total CO2 emissions by 51.8 percent. As the new ferry has more weekly departures than its predecessor, the reduction in average emissions per departure becomes even greater: 67.2 percent. The calculations are based on data from 2022 and 2013, the first operating year of the previous ferry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur 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\u201d, says <strong>Peter St\u00e5hlberg<\/strong>, Managing Director of Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tony Ehrs, Freight Director<br \/>\ntony.ehrs@wasaline.com, +358 40\u00a0768 1747<\/p>\n<p><strong>Press Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Catarina Fant, Director, Brand &amp; Communications<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:Catarina.fant@wasaline.com\">Catarina.fant@wasaline.com<\/a>, +358 46\u00a0921 5811<\/p>\n<p><em>Wasaline is the northernmost shipping company that transports passengers and cargo daily between Vaasa, Finland and Ume\u00e5, Sweden.
