On the way to the goal of becoming completely emission free, Hurtigruten has as the first Norwegian cruise line started testing Biodiesel on board the ship MS Polarlys. This fuel can potentially reduce emissions with 95 percent.

“The world is on its way into a new era, with a travel industry based on sustainability – and Hurtigruten is setting the standard for the whole industry. Biodiesel can in the long run potentially give a CO2-reduction of as much as 95 percent compared to traditional marine fuels. Hurtigruten is testing certified biodiesel that is free of palm oil. The industry needs to start making more sustainable choices and Hurtigruten wants to lead the way,” says Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam.
