Discharges to sea and land

Under normal operation, discharges to the sea are small and we have chosen to consider the following categories:

A long voyage towards discovery

After 12 years of experimentation, research and development, Solvang and our partners present a game changer technology: The shipboard carbon capture system.

Reducing our environmental impact

All human activity has an impact on life on land and in the sea. Our goal is to minimize operational and indirect emissions, and strive for zero spills to the environment.

The cross-sectoral tradeoff

Given the precarious need for climate change mitigation and a scarce supply of renewable energy sources in the foreseeable future, renewable energy sources should be deployed where the climate effect is highest, which sometimes implies a tradeoff between sectors.

Our impact on life below sea and on land

All human activity including ours has an impact on life on land and in the sea. Our goal is to minimise operational and indirect emissions, and strive for zero spills to the environment.

ESG Performance

To keep our commitment for continuous improvement, we constantly measure our performance. We have defined a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) within different areas. By analysing these we are able to show our performance, document our improvement and identify areas where we need further improvement.

What have we achieved with continuous improvements?

Reduction of our environmental footprint is a continuous process, which requires reliable performance data from the vessels. Since 2008, Solvang has systematically recorded vessel performance data and used this for benchmarking sister vessels, develop best operational practice and feed this into the design of our newbuilt ECO LPG carriers (first delivered in 2013).
