Sea Zero

For a lower-emission future

Channeling the same pioneering spirit as our first voyage in 1893, we are embarking on a journey to build our first ship with zero-emission propulsion for The Coastal Express by 2030. It is the most ambitious sustainability initiative in our 130-year history. To reach “Sea Zero”, we are partnering with science-institute SINTEF to explore exciting, state-of-the-art solutions in energy efficiency and battery electric power.
