The EU’s Corporate Sustainability Directive CSRD was adopted in 2024 to set Europe on a green trajectory. This is Solvang’s first report – following the VSME standard (voluntary environmental reporting standard for small and medium-sized enterprises)

After the EU backtracked on some extensive disclosure requirements in their climate reporting directives, Solvang Shipping has moved on with our measures. In a climate of shifting international frameworks, Solvang sticks to our path of investments into eco accountability. Our double materiality asssessment of sustainability factors is the current milestone reached.

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.
