sustainable fuel options to maintain competiveness. We are currently conducting several initiatives on finding alternative fuels within Stena. Our methanol project on Stena Germanica is one example. We are also looking at battery powered vessels, which is starting to become an interesting option for shipping.” Stena’s shipping companies have since 2005 been contributing to its Energy Saving Programme (ESP) to reduce fuel consumption. The target has been an annual reduction of 2.5 per cent. In 2015 this was beaten with a figure of 2.8 per cent. For Stena Line the efforts led to a reduction of fuel consumption of 4 per cent per nautical mile and a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions of 2.5 per cent per nautical mile. “We have a broad scope and

wedish-based Stena Lines, which in addition to its ferry services provides
freight and logistics routes in the Baltic and around the UK, comprehensively cut fuel consumption and emissions from its vessels in 2015, according to its latest sustainability report. Its environmental footprint
exceeded targets for reduction in emissions of sulphur and carbon dioxide.
One of the largest changes
for the shipping industry was introduced at the beginning of 2015 with new tough regulations on sulphur emissions for ferry operators in Northern Europe. This meant that the permitted emission levels of sulphur from vessels had to be reduced by 90 per cent, from a maximum 1 per cent to 0.1 per cent within the SECA area from the beginning of 2015. For Stena’s shipping companies, with 93 vessels operating all over the world, the new rules
have resulted in a reduction of more than 4,000 tonnes sulphur between 2014 to 2015, which is a cut of 15 per cent. For Stena Line’s 34 vessels operating in Europe the total emissions of sulphur were more than halved with a reduction of 53 per cent. “Sustainability is a strategic priority for Stena Line,” said Carl- Johan Hagman, chief executive of Stena Line. “Focusing on sustainability is not only important for Stena Line, but for the entire industry which needs long term
drive several different initiatives to reduce our fuel consumption within ESP,” said Erik Lewenhaupt, head of sustainability at Stena Line. “It covers everything from changing bulbs and propellers to enable our ferries to sail with reduced water resistance, to using digital solutions such as our Fuel Management System, where we collect a huge amount of data from the systems onboard our 34 ferries that is then used to optimize operations. The target is a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 35 per cent per nautical mile by 2030.”
Logistics centre inaugurated by Valmet in Brazil
A new logistics centre has been opened by Valmet at Araucária, in Paraná state in Brazil. The centre is Valmet’s fifth logistics centre worldwide and serves the pulp, paper, fibre board and other industries across South America with spare parts and components produced by Valmet
July/August 2016
and its local suppliers. The inauguration ceremony was
attended by local authorities, customers and Valmet’s management. “This is an important milestone
for Valmet in South America and offers a concrete contribution to moving our customers’
performance forward,” said Celso Tacla, Area President for South America at Valmet during the inauguration. The new logistics centre will help to secure the reliability and efficiency of customers’ processes in South America by supplying the required spare parts and
components from the same continent, saving on freight costs and cutting delivery times. “We’ll be delivering just-in-time
services to our customers, and we will reduce their dependency on spare parts imports. In addition, our customers will not have to invest in inventories, as Valmet is
