Viking Line is renewing its offer of travel and transport powered by a high share of renewable European biogas in 2026.

Key points:

  • After increasing biofuel use tenfold in 2025, Viking Line has secured another year at the same ambitious level.
  • Biogas is used alongside LNG on VIKING GLORY and VIKING GRACE on the daily Turku–Stockholm route.
  • The combination delivers very low sulphur and particle emissions and a significantly reduced climate footprint.
  • Viking Line expects 50% biogas coverage for the first half of 2026.
  • In 2025, greenhouse gas emissions on the two vessels were reduced by nearly 50,000 tonnes.
  • The company is developing a green shipping corridor with the Ports of Stockholm and the Port of Turku.
  • The objective is for the corridor to become completely fossil-free by 2035.

CEO Marcus Risberg calls the biogas investment one of the clearest large-scale examples of shipping’s practical transition towards fossil-free operations.
