Corridor route: Gothenburg – Fredrikshavn
Fuel in focus: Methanol
Pilot owner: Stena Line
Pilot facilitator: IVL

Comparing methanol with a biodiesel and batteries for a RoPax vessel

The overall aim with the pilot project is to provide a basis for identifying and promoting the most relevant solution for a potential green corridor on the Gothenburg and Fredrikshavn service to be introduced in the near mid-term.

Long-term objective: To realize a green shipping corridor for the ferry line between Gothenburg and Fredrikshavn

Short-term objective: To identify the key barriers and next steps to turn the Gothenburg – Fredrikshavn service into a green shipping corridor.

Generally, the pilot project has been divided into three tasks:

1. Investigate key barriers for turning the Gothenburg – Fredrikshavn ferry route into a green shipping corridor.
2. Assess and compare the potential for different fuel solutions for the RoPax ferries on the Gothenburg – Fredrikshavn route.
3. Identify funding possibilities that could support the transition of the Gothenburg – Fredrikshavn route.
