Started beginning of this year Ekeri is purchasing an additional service called &#8220;Green Transport&#8221; from Wasaline, which means minimal CO2 emissions on all their transports on Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p>Wasaline allocates battery operation for all Ekeri&#8217;s transports across Kvarken. Aurora Botnia uses 2.3 MWh batteries, which corresponds to about 5% of the total energy for a crossing. Thus, Wasaline can allocate a certain number of units that are transported over with the energy obtained from the batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Green Transport at Wasaline means that you can allocate either battery operation or biogas to your transport. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasaline.com\/en\/portfolio-item\/wasaline-green-corridor-fridays\/\">The biogas allocations began already in 2023<\/a>, but now Wasaline can also sell green transports with battery operation. There is still capacity to buy for these green transports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are very pleased and proud that Ekeri has shown interest in our Green Transport service. We have had a very good collaboration over the years and are therefore incredibly happy that Ekeri is the first customer to choose this additional service. Reducing the CO2 footprint of transports is a very hot topic right now and we believe that Aurora Botnia has great potential to attract more transport on the Vaasa &#8211; Ume\u00e5 route&#8221;, says Freight Director <strong>Tony Ehrs<\/strong> at Wasaline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That Wasaline can offer the market transport with minimal CO2 emissions is a service that we were happy to jump on because it is according to our vision to be the main supplier of sustainable heavy transport vehicles. Ostrobothnia is perhaps one of the most sustainable regions in the world, and we at Ekeri also want to be involved and take responsibility with our suppliers so that they can develop sustainable services and products for the future, of which this is a good example,&#8221; says <strong>Daniel Asplund<\/strong> from Ekeri.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lrpcbgk8-972d70e0f2af77c77dc709a1f9dedd45 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >For more information<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lrpccuk2-96f94b0bc9059f68d414dcf3395c3284 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Freight Director Tony Ehrs, Wasaline<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:tony.ehrs@wasaline.com\">tony.ehrs@wasaline.com<\/a>, +358 40 768 1747<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability &amp; Aftermarket Manager Daniel Asplund, Ekeri<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:daniel.asplund@ekeri.fi\">daniel.asplund@ekeri.fi<\/a>, +358 6 7887 415<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-qbt0p9-0d1b233c2b85889f93be9b921f4d684b hr-default  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1pv9jpp-4a372baf0c9e6df9cc0a2a9c67cbb6f9 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lrpc8c08-f748bc66af416f6478cfc5ba70f64fa6 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-8  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >About Wasaline<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-19lu0kt-c31ee2657e529b6adac3e8f66e6513dc '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Wasaline is the northernmost shipping line in the world, which transports passengers and freight daily between Vaasa in Finland and Ume\u00e5 in Sweden.
