HURTIGRUTEN Norway is progressing with its planned “Sea Zero” zero-emission ship project for its coastal fleet (CW 01 Apr), lodging the first funding application for the next stage of the project aiming to create fully sustainable vessels.
A feasibility study exploring potential technology and fuel options for the new ships was completed in Aug, alongside an investigation of the applicability of modern batteries for more environmentally friendly ships.
“Successfully securing support from industry-leading partners and appropriate resources was always a vital next step towards fulfilling this ground-breaking endeavour,” the company said.
Hurtigruten MD Asia Pacific, Damian Perry, said the Sea Zero initiative elevates Hurtigruten’s sustainability focus to a whole new level, that is “years ahead of the market”.
