2 Fjord Line ferries now sailing on natural gas

Fjord Line is proud to announce that sister ships MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord are the first and largest cruise ferries in the world that sail only on environmentally friendly natural gas.

The sister ships MS Bergensfjord and MS Stavangerfjord are powered by the environmentally friendly natural gas LNG. This innovative technology brings significant environmental benefits. The exhaust from the LNG engines on board is completely free of sulfur and soot, and therefore does not emit visible smoke. CO2 emissions are 20 to 25 percent lower than from diesel engines, and emissions of mononitrogen oxide (NOx) have been reduced by as much as 92 percent.

This environmentally friendly technology also leads to significantly less noise than what is usual from large diesel engines. Of course, this is much appreciated by both our surroundings and our /employees/travellers.
