Pioneering sustainable ferry transportation
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
We’re deeply aware of the urgent environmental challenges we face today and the critical role the maritime sector plays in the clean energy transition.
As we grow our business and expand our route network, we’re committed to leading the way in sustainable ferry solutions—balancing essential connectivity with the need to cut emissions and protect our marine ecosystems.
Decarbonizing our fleet is one of our top priorities. Our goal is to reach net-zero emissions across the value chain by 2040, a commitment that demands significant investment in vessels, infrastructure, and day-to-day operations. Sustainability isn’t a separate initiative—it’s built into our strategy and guides every decision we make across the Group.
Our journey towards net zero
We have established science-based emission reduction targets, validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligned with the Paris Agreement. These targets cover Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 emissions and guide our decarbonisation efforts across all business units.
Near-term targets by 2030*
44%
44% reduction in well-to-wake GHG emissions per tonne nautical mile from Ferry RoRo and Passengers operations
41%
41% reduction in absolute well-to-wake emissions from ferry passengers only
42%
42% reduction in absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products
*from 2022 as base year
Long-term targets by 2040*
97%
97% reduction in well-to-wake GHG emissions per tonne nautical mile from Ferry RoRo and Passengers operations
97%
97% reduction in absolute well-to-wake emissions from ferry passengers only
90%
90% reduction in absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from use of sold products
* from 2022 as base year
Our approach
We know that reaching our net-zero goal by 2040 will rely on breakthroughs in zero-emission technology and cleaner fuels for the next generation of ferries. While our full transition roadmap is still taking shape, our strategy is already aligned with science-based targets backed by the SBTi.
Our approach is flexible and data-driven. We continuously evaluate technologies, retrofits and newbuilds, balancing opreational needs with factors such as route characteristics, infrastructure availability, cost efficiency and technological maturity.
