Strategic priorities and targets to achieve a better climate and environment

Wagenborg takes an active part in the shipping and transport de-carbonizing energy transition. Together with our stakeholders - authorities, clients, investors, public, employees and suppliers - we accept sustainability challenges to reduce our environmental footprint and take action on energy efficiency, CO2 reduction and ocean health.

Target to reduce CO2 emissions with 20% by 2024 and 40% by 2030

Goal to reduce CO2 emissions with 70% by 2050

20 USCG and IMO approved ballast water treatment systems
installations per year

Equip 100% of the fleet with USCG and IMO approved ballast water treatment systems by 2024.

A roadmap towards 2050 to comply with CO2 reduction targets and goals

In line with the IMO ambitions, we have set a target to reduce our CO2 emission by 40 % per ton/mile in 2030 compared to 2008. In addition we set a goal to reduce CO2 emissions by 70 % in 2050 compared to 2008. We follow our 5-track roadmap towards 2050 to comply with CO2 reduction targets and goals.

Fuel efficiency: We have installed live data software on board to improve fuel efficiency.
Transition fuels: we use drop-in transition fuels where possible: B7 bio diesel for our ferries and GTL on our offshore fleet.
Research into new fuels: we are researching alternative fuels that will help us reach the decarbonisation goals.
Convert existing fleet: our fourth step is to convert existing vessels to use alternative green fuels.
Replace fleet: we will continue to build and implement vessels that are able to use renewable fuels.

Ocean health

The quality of live under water is affected by possible pollution and waste from seagoing vessels. At Wagenborg we consider ocean health of great importance. As early adopters Wagenborg installed ballast water treatment systems far before the 2024 mandatory regulations to minimize the impact in and below water. We target to:

install 20 ballast water treatment systems per year
Equip all owned and managed MPP vessels with a ballast water treatment unit by 2024.
