The Port of Oslo has opened a new shore power facility enabling ferries operated by DFDS and Stena Line to lower their emissions by connecting to power while at berth at the port and further promote development of green technology.

Stena Line has chosen Corvus Energy as its supplier of choice to convert one of its flagship ro-pax ferries to battery power.

Stena Line has joined a unique industry cooperation for smart electric transport which aims to increase the electrification of shipping.

The first zero-emissions Stena Line ferry powered by batteries could begin operation this year with batteries supplied by Callenberg Technology Group.

Stena Line has unveiled its plans to use methanol to meet emission standards for Europe’s Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) coming into effect in 2015.
