Maritime Industry Voices Concerns at Arendalsuka

August 16, 2025

At the Maritime CleanTech session “High-speed boats – emission cuts and exports, or green bankruptcy?”, Norled’s Rannveig Elisabeth Drengstig delivered a clear message: zero-emission technology is ready, but framework conditions lag behind.

She highlighted high risks for operators, from technological uncertainty and infrastructure gaps to volatile electricity and hydrogen prices – MF HYDRA still relies on hydrogen trucked from Germany. Tender documents and contracts must adapt to support the transition, with better risk distribution, early dialogue, and client cooperation essential for a successful green shift at sea.
