Hand in hand with nature
The Norwegian nature is our workplace and we operate in particularly vulnerable areas. Therefore, we are not only working to cut our greenhouse gas emissions, but also other emissions affecting the environment. Lighter ferries and new technology have made it possible for us to cut our NOx and other emissions considerably.
We have always worked with safety on board. This is important
to us, not only to avoid major and minor injuries, but also to prevent accidents causing emissions and damage to nature and wildlife. Through our extensive focus on HSE, we have managed to phase out our use of harmful chemicals. Where good alternatives are currently lacking, we want to ensure safe storage and disposal systems.
Lighter ferries emit less
Torghatten has invested in extra light speedboats. This has cut the NOx emissions by 50% and reduced the CO2 emissions by 6 400 tonnes.
Respect for the environment applies to the entire process – from ordering new ships to our operations. This also includes sorting waste on board. We need to continuously improve.
Torghatten Midt (Middle) and Torghatten Nord (North) are both certified according to the international ISO 14001 standard. An internationally agreed standard that helps us to improve environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste.
