Sharing samples of knowledge

Solvang develops research-based maritime solutions with our partners. Every new sample of knowledge we share publicly to promote sustainable shipping. Solvang’s Fleet Director Tor Øyvind Ask offers and account of which measures really make a difference in deep-sea green technology.

Fleet down 22 percent on emissions – up 21 percent on capacity

Since 2009, Solvang’s gas carrier tonnage has grown by 15 percent in terms of DWT, and by 21.4 percent in cargo capacity. In the same period, GHG emissions have been reduced by 21.5 percent, all due to exhaust gas recirculation and cleaning, hull, propeller and drivetrain optimization, and continuous operational improvements.

Freedom to blow the whistle

A culture of confidence, personal integrity and high quality is the documented effect of trusting our employees on all levels. Solvang allows employees to report incidents without fear of backlash. HR Director Kjetil Meling explains why.
