Viking Line, Åbo Hamn and Stockholms Hamnar have marked two years of cooperation to establish a fossil-free maritime corridor between Stockholm and Turku, targeting full implementation by 2035.
A joint roadmap is in place, with progress in shore power planning, port electrification and access to renewable fuels.
Key steps so far:
- Battery pre-studies and Elogrid installations on VIKING GRACE and VIKING GLORY
- Tenfold increase in renewable biogas use in 2025 vs 2024
- Shore power preparations in Turku aligned with Ferry Terminal Turku
- First public charging station for heavy vehicles in a Finnish port
- Stockholm advancing port electricity supply to enable zero emissions at berth
The partners stress that continued coordination between shipping companies, ports and policymakers is essential to deliver a fossil-free corridor by 2035.
