Green Lane – low-carbon sea transport

Two carbon neutral shipment options

Both solutions, electricity and biodiesel, are designed to significantly reduce emissions — for example using biodiesel can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 700 kg per trailer on the Hanko-Gdynia route. Green lane helps you meet strict environmental regulations and reach your energy-saving goals with confidence.

First Green Lane, fully electric shipments, represents the cleanest option currently available in sea transport. This service will be offered on the high-frequency Naantali–Kapellskär route, operated by our newest hybrid ro-pax vessels, Finnsirius and Finncanopus. Greenhouse emission reduced by 100 %.

The ships’ 5 MWh batteries are charged with onshore power while at berth, enabling carbon neutral sea transportation for a defined number of freight units by replacing fossil fuels with electricity.

The second Green Lane option utilises biodiesel produced from renewable energy sources. This service will be available across Finnlines entire network.

When you select the biodiesel option, we commit to consuming a volume of biodiesel equivalent to the energy required for your transport. Compared to conventional fossil fuels, this solution can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 90%.

Bunker surcharge, ETS FEUM charge, and biodiesel/electricity charge are applied as separate charges. These Green Lane surcharges are updated quarterly like ETS FEUM charge.

We look forward to supporting your sustainability goals and helping you make the transition to more energy-efficient freight solutions.
