We take our responsibility seriously Becoming the world leader in exploration travel comes with a great responsibility to preserve the natural wonders along our route. Travelling is a big part of the modern lifestyle. The desire for travel and explora- tion has a huge influence on the environ- ment, the wildlife and the people who live in the places we visit. Every voyage has an impact and acknowledging this is a crucial part of sustainability. Hurtigruten offers life- affirming experiences in regions where the nature, people and wildlife are unique. We guarantee the highest environmental aware- ness on board and on shore, and take great pride in our commitment to preserve the nat-
ural wonders that we visit. Our goal is to be the most sustainable option for travel to the polar regions and we have already made a lot of changes to make sure that we leave the smallest footprint possible.
Enhancing our destinations We work to sustain and enhance our destina- tions through social, environmental and safety improvements. This means that we trade lo- cally, respect traditions and value co-operation with the communities that go to great efforts to welcome our guests, both along the Norwegian coast and in the polar regions.
Our waste oil
is reused as fuel to heat large institutions in Norway.
110
Our recycling provides enough energy to heat 110 houses a year.
13.000
Since 2009, our energy-saving measures have reduced our annual emissions of CO2 by nearly 13,000 metric tons.
71
Changing the propeller on MS Richard With reduces yearly emissions equivalent
to driving a diesel truck round the equator 71 times.
MS Fram has installed ballast water treatment plant.
Our coastal ships use SDM (Special Distillate Marine), which has 4–12 times lower sulphur emissions, less NOx and less soot than heavy oil. All vessels use MGO (Marine gas oil) south of 62°N.
Four of our ships are built as ‘Clean Class’ ships, reducing NOx and SO2.
