Viking Line<\/strong> and its port partners say progress is being made on plans to create a fossil-free shipping corridor between Finland’s Turku<\/strong> and Sweden’s Stockholm<\/strong> by 2035<\/strong>, two years after the project was launched.<\/p>\n

The ferry operator is working with the Port of Turku <\/strong>and Ports of Stockholm <\/strong>on measures including greater use of renewable fuels, shore power development and zero-emission targets for vessels at berth, it said in an email statement on Monday<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The green shipping corridor was launched in February 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Work so far has included studies into battery installations on Viking Line ferries, installation of energy-saving hull technology and increased usage of bio-LNG.<\/p>\n

Viking Line\u2019s dual-fuel ferries bunkered <\/a>6,000 mt of bio-LNG in 2025 \u2013 a tenfold increase from the volume bunkered in 2024. The company has also secured enough bio-LNG to cover 50%<\/a> of the fuel needs of its LNG-fuelled vessels for the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n

The ports are also advancing plans for onshore power and charging infrastructure, as well as access to sustainable fuels. A joint roadmap for the corridor has been developed and will be updated as the partners continue work toward the 2035 <\/strong>fossil-free target.<\/p>\n
