Stena Line has contracted technology group Wärtsilä to convert several of its ferries to operate on methanol, marking an important step in the Swedish operator’s journey towards sustainable shipping.
During the conversion projects, which are scheduled to take place in 2025, engineers will modify the fuel supply system and engines, including adding automation for the engine control room. The new installations will be integrated with the ships’ existing systems.
The conversions will enable Stena Line’s ferries to comply with various existing and upcoming regulations, including the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), FuelEU Maritime and the International Maritime Organization’s target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2050.
