# Sustainability at Fjord Line

## Sustainability at Fjord Line

Large ships weighing thousands of tonnes crossing the blue seas may not be the first thing that comes to mind when talking about sustainability. However, we are steering towards a greener cruise industry. Our ships are powered by eco-friendly gas and embrace diversity and community.

Sustainability is a central part of Fjord Line’s values and is considered in everything we do, and in every part of what you see – and don’t see – when travelling with us.

As pioneers in the use of alternative fuels on our large ferries, running on LNG since new, we continue to work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce waste and limit the environmental impacts of our operations. Our focus is on measures that reduce fuel consumption and emissions, reduce waste, and improve the use of resources – and, not least, on the people who make it happen every day, on every vessel, in every port and on every journey.
