Methanolfähre Stena Germanica: nachhaltige Schifffahrt im Trend

Die Methanolfähre Stena Germanica ist auf der Route Kiel-Göteborg im Einsatz (Quelle/Bildrechte: Stena-Line) Stena Line plant 30 Prozent weniger Schadstoffe bis 2030  Im vergangenen Jahr konnte Stena Line ihren Gesamtausstoß von CO2 weiter senken und  liegt derzeit 10 Jahre vor den international vereinbarten Zielen in der Schifffahrt. Trotzdem  erhöht die schwedische Reederei noch einmal ihre Schlagzahl bei der Umstellung auf  fossilfrei betriebene Schifffahrt und will ihren CO2-Ausstoß bis 2030 um 30 Prozent senken. In einem schwierigen Jahr 2020 konnte Stena Line ihren CO2-Ausstoß weiter senken. So  wurde etwa die Flotte des Unternehmens energieeffizienter, messbar an 2,3 Prozent weniger  CO2-Ausstoß pro zurückgelegter Seemeile. „Die wichtigsten Gründe für die verbesserte Emissionsbilanz in 2020 waren der Einsatz  unserer drei neuen energieffizienten E-Flexer in der Irischen See, die Nutzung von grünem  Landstrom in Kiel, sowie weitere Schiffe der Flotte mit unserem KI-gestützten Stena Fuel  Pilot auszurüsten. Diese Technologie hilft unseren Kapitänen, situationsaktuell die  energieeffizienteste Route zu finden und bis zu 5 Prozent Treibstoff pro Schiffsstrecke  einzusparen. Unser strategischer Ansatz ist also klar: Wir arbeiten parallel daran, sowohl  unseren Treibstoffverbrauch und Ausstoß zu reduzieren, als auch die Treibstoffe und  Technologien von morgen zu erforschen und zu testen“, sagt Erik Lewenhaupt, Head of  Sustainability von Stena Line. Stena Line liegt bei der Emissionsreduktion bereits heute zehn Jahre vor den definierten  Zielen der Internationalen Seeschifffahrts-Organisation IMO. Dennoch erhöht die Reederei  die eigenen Zielvorgaben noch einmal: „Unser Anspruch ist es, die Speerspitze der nachhaltigen Schifffahrt zu sein. Dafür ist es  langfristig nötig, nicht nur effizienter zu werden, sondern die Abhängigkeit von fossilen  Brennstoffen zu durchbrechen und unseren Gesamtausstoß zu reduzieren. Deswegen setzen  wir uns jetzt das Ziel, 30 Prozent CO2 bis 2030 einzusparen, um 2050 bei Null CO2  zu  landen. Ein wichtiger Schritt wird unsere elektrisch betriebene Fähre Stena Elektra auf der  Route Göteborg-Frederikshavn sein, die wir bis 2030 einsetzen möchten“, sagt Stena Line  CEO Niclas Mårtensson, Mitglied der Elektrifizierungskommission der schwedischen  Regierung.

Stena Line verfolgt den Umstieg auf fossilfreie Antriebe in vier Bereichen:

Elektrifizierung: Mit der Stena Elektra soll bis 2030 die erste vollständig elektrische Fähre ihrer Klasse auf  der 50 Seemeilen langen Strecke zwischen Göteborg und Frederikshavn verkehren. Bereits  seit 2018 ist dort die Batteriehybrid-Fähre Stena Jutlandica im Einsatz. Darüber hinaus nutzt  Stena Line an 25 Prozent ihrer Terminals grünen Landstrom, womit 2020 13.000 Tonnen  CO2 eingespart wurden – dem Jahresäquivalent von 7.200 Pkw. Alternative Treibstoffe: Seit 2015 ist die erste methanolbetriebene Fähre Stena Germanica auf der Route Kiel- Göteborg im Einsatz und hat Methanol als Schiffstreibstoff etabliert. Methanol als Treibstoff  eliminiert den Ausstoß von Schwefel und Partikeln nahezu vollständig, 60 Prozent des  Stickstoffausstoßes wird vermieden. 2021 ist ein Test mit Methanol, das aus der  Stahlherstellung zurückgewonnen wird, geplant. Zudem werden weitere alternative  Treibstoffe wie Flüssiggas oder Brennstoffzellen untersucht. Modernisierung der Flotte: Im letzten Jahr wurden drei neue Fähren des Modells E-Flexer in Dienst gestellt. Diese sind  30 Prozent energieeffizienter als frühere Fahrzeuge und können auf Gas- oder  Methanolbetrieb umgestellt werden. 2022 werden zwei weitere, noch einmal größere E- Flexer vom Stapel laufen. In den letzten zehn Jahren hat Stena Line die Flotte durch mehr  als 360 große und kleine Maßnahmen modernisiert, vom neuen Bugwulst, Propellern und  Rudern, über frequenzgesteuerte Ventilation an Bord bis zu neuen umweltfreundlichen  Schiffsanstrichen. KI-gestützte Assistenzsysteme: Der Stena Fuel Pilot erlaubt es selbst den erfahrenen Kapitänen von Stena Line, die Fähren  noch effizienter zu steuern und bis zu 5 Prozent des Treibstoffverbrauchs pro Schiffsstrecke  einzusparen. 2020 wurde das KI-gestützte Assistenzsystem auf fünf Fähren zwischen  Schweden und Deutschland sowie Schweden und Dänemark installiert, im Laufe der  kommenden zwei Jahre folgen die übrigen Fähren der Flotte. Die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie von Stena Line fokussiert alle Geschäftsbereiche des  Unternehmens und beruht auf fünf strategischen Schlüsselbereichen aus den Zielen für  nachhaltige Entwicklung der Vereinten Nationen: Saubere Energie, Nachhaltiger  Verbrauch, Leben unter Wasser, Gesundheit und Wohlergehen sowie Gleichstellung und  Inklusion.

The 130 meter long, 11,258 dwt tanker Ternvind collided with the 182 meter long, 6,559 dwt ro-ro passenger ferry Stena Jutlandica off the island of Vinga near Gothenburg, Sweden. The tanker had departed from Gothenburg en route to Halmstad when it struck the portside of the Stena Jutlandica. The ferry sustained significant hull damage with a several meter long hole above the waterline.  Reports state the Stena Jutlandica did suffer water ingress, but was able to proceed to Gothenburg under her own power.  Many of the 536 passengers on board were awoken by the sound of the crash, but no reports of injuries.  Authorities dispatched vessels to monitor the situation and inspect the vessels.  No pollution was released.  The Ternvind was last reported anchored off Vinga with no injuries or pollution released.

Quayside Powerbanks - The Next Step in the Electrification of Shipping

Stena is developing a solution to use recycled batteries in charging stations at ports.

Stena is now taking the next step in shipping electrification: the development of a new type of energy storage, similar to very large powerbanks, which will be essential for the quick charging of electric ferries in the future. The project is part-financed by the EU and will, among other things, investigate how used batteries from the transport sector can be reused for energy storage in ports.

“An incredible amount is happening in the world of batteries. New solutions are being designed to meet the charging requirements of the transport sector of the future, especially for shipping where vessels are starting to switch to electric power. Rapidly charging a large ferry, for example, requires a huge amount of energy in a short time and it’s not certain that the electricity grid will be able to deliver it. Local energy stores at ports could offer a great solution to this problem”, says Rasmus Bergström, Managing Director of Batteryloop.

Batteryloop* is a subsidiary of the Stena Recycling Group. The company has quickly made an impact in electrification, not least in the recycling of used batteries from the automotive industry. A global collaboration agreement was recently signed with Volvo Buses, for the reuse of batteries from its electric vehicles.

“One thing is sure, batteries are here to stay. In order to conserve natural resources and make battery recycling sustainable, we need to do everything we can to use batteries for as long as possible. Our conclusion is that many batteries can have a second life as energy storage. If we can find solutions that will scale-up and work in ports, we’ll have a win-win situation in many ways”, says Rasmus Bergström.

The project will map and evaluate opportunities to reuse lithium-ion batteries from the transport and automotive industry for energy storage in ports - to charge electric ferries, for example. The collaboration includes several Stena companies - Batteryloop, Stena Recycling, Stena Rederi and Stena Line - the ports of Gothenburg and Kiel and the accreditation company DNV GL. The project will be carried out over two years and be part-financed by INEA, the EU’s Innovation and Networks Executive Agency.

Stena Line invests in battery power

As early as 2018, Stena Line began its investment in battery power on the ferry Stena Jutlandica, which uses battery power to drive the bow thrusters that steer the vessel into port.

“This is an important milestone in the electrification of shipping. Our future project, Stena Elektra - a fully electric ferry - is already on the drawing board. In order to succeed, we need to solve the issue of how to quickly charge a ferry. Energy storage at ports using recycled batteries, is a very interesting and sustainable alternative for the future”, says Per Wimby, project manager for electrification at Stena Teknik.

Quayside energy storage can also be used as an alternative power source for vessels in port, which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Stena Line and the Port of Gothenburg have long been pioneers in this area and all Stena Line ferries are connected to green onshore power in Gothenburg.

*Batteryloop builds energy stores from batteries and ensures the recovery and recycling for batteries that are no longer in use. Through Stena Recycling's branch network, Batteryloop can receive batteries directly from manufacturing companies, repair shops, car dismantlers and insurance companies. Batteryloop is a subsidiary of Stena Recycling, which is part of the Stena Metall Group.

Stena Line Sails Towards A Leadership In Sustainable Shipping

AI-assisted vessels to save fuel, Battery power propulsion, huge reduction of single-use plastic on board, continued low level of crew and passenger accidents and an increased rate of female leaders. That are some of the highlights in leading ferry company Stena Lines sustainability review for 2018.

Stena Line has now released its third sustainability review “A Sustainable Journey” describing initiatives, improvements and challenges in the operations from the sustainability perspective as well as results on their ambitious sustainability targets. The review also highlights the main initiatives the company has worked on during the past year.

Stena Line CEO Niclas Mårtensson said: “With size comes responsibility and our ambition is to improve our operations every year to become a leader in sustainable shipping. The past year we have had exiting developments pairing artificial intelligence with the know-how of our experienced employees on-board as well as increased focus on electrification. We have continued our efforts within crew and passenger safety as well as launched a new initiative for more diversity in our operations. This is a very exciting time for our company and I’m proud that Stena Line continues help shape the industry for European short-sea transportation.”

Stena Lines sustainability strategy is divided into five focus areas tied to the UN Global Goals for sustainable development with ambitious targets set in each focus area. They are Equality & inclusion, Good health & wellbeing, Clean energy, Responsible consumption, Life below water.

“We have more than 5,500 employees who all make big and small contributions towards our sustainability targets and it’s great to see that we are making good progress in many areas while maintaining a safe and efficient operation. Our industry has a big challenge with our fossil dependence and our total carbon emissions increased in line with freight volumes so we have more to do in this area. The initiatives started within electrification are relatively new to our industry but extremely important going forward as we gradually move to low-carbon operations,” said Erik Lewenhaupt, Head of Sustainability

Highlights in 2018

Equality & inclusion

Equality & inclusion: A new focus area was introduced in 2018 with a target of increasing the number of female leaders to 30 % and with a zero vision of harassment.

Gender diversity improved: An increase of female leaders from 16 % to 19 % in 2018.

Partnerships: Stena Line signed the UK Chamber of Shipping pledge “Women in Maritime” and introduced a long-term partnership with EuroPride.

Good health & wellbeing

Safety first: Safety was again a top focus and the company could show a continued low level of crew & passenger accidents as well as a 99,8% technical reliability towards scheduled departures.

Safety awards: Nine vessels were recognised for their outstanding achievement in safety and received the Jones F. Devlin Award from Chamber of Shipping of America.

Clean energy

AI-assisted vessels save fuel: During 2018 Stena Line equipped the first vessel, Stena Scandinavica on the Gothenburg-Kiel route, with artificial intelligence (AI) technology to support the captains and officers to save fuel and lower emissions. The project has been successful and when launched fleet wide, the AI assistant will make an important contribution to Stena Lines target to reduce fuel consumption by 2,5 % per nautical mile annually.

Electromobility for shipping: A first battery hybrid project was launched with a 1 MWh battery installation on-board Stena Jutlandica on the Gothenburg-Frederikshavn route.

Shore power connections: The company connected its 14th ship to green shore side electricity in the Port of Oslo. In total 37 % of the fleet, and 20 % of the terminals, are now equipped with shore power connections and save 14,000 mt of CO2 per year.

Responsible consumption

Reduced single use plastic: Stena Line has a target to reduce all single use plastic on board. In 2018 the company made huge improvements within this area and reduced the use of single use plastics on board with close to 90% in some business regions.

Increased amount of recycling: Another target is to improve the amount of recycled waste. The recycling in ports increased and a total of 77 % of total waste is now material recycled or energy recycled.

Life below water

Doubled use of ecolabel chemicals: Stena Line relies on the oceans for its existence and all operations shall have a minimal impact on marine life. During 2017/2018 Stena Line doubled the use of ecolabel detergents in passenger and kitchen areas to 60 %.

Innovative antifouling: Stena Line is testing several initiatives for cleaner antifouling such as ultrasonic transducers, silicon based paint and the innovative bio-repellent Selektope which was painted on new-building Stena Estrid during 2018.

Stena Line Introduces Battery Power To Test New Energy Types for Propulsion of Vessels

Stena Line now take the next step in the quest to test new environmentally friendly energy types for propulsion of vessels. Recently a contract was signed with Callenberg Technology Group for batteries with a capacity of 1 MWh which will be installed on Stena Jutlandica which operates between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn. Before the summer, battery power in port operation will become a reality.

The battery project is an important part of Stena Line’s sustainability strategy. In the future our target with the ‘battery’ is to be able to navigate the vessel 50 nautical miles.

“Sustainability is very high on our agenda and we are constantly evaluating new ways to reduce our impact on the environment. From 2015, for example, methanol is part of the fuel mix on Stena Germanica, which operates between Gothenburg and Kiel, and we also run around 300 different energy saving projects. As both the size and cost of batteries decrease, battery operation becomes a very exciting alternative to traditional fuels for shipping, as emissions to air can be completely eliminated”, says Stena Line’s CEO Niclas Mårtensson.

The battery project will commence now and will be completed step by step. In step one, it is about switching on battery power for bow thrusters and maneuvering when berthing in port. In step two, an extended battery operation is connected to the propellers, meaning that Stena Jutlandica can be operated on electricity within around 10 nautical miles, equal to the distance between Göteborg and Vinga Lighthouse.

In step three, battery capacity is further expanded and a vessel can operate about 50 nautical miles of electricity corresponding to the distance between Gothenburg and Frederikshavn.

The objective of accomplishing this in several steps is to test and gather knowledge about electrical operation along the way. If the project is successful, battery operation may also be applicable to other vessels in the Stena Line fleet of 38 vessels.

The technical solutions are being developed together with Stena Teknik, which cooperates with the academic world, authorities and various suppliers. The project has been received very positively, and the first phase is supported and financed by half by the Swedish Maritime Administration and the EU.

Facts: The technology tested is based on plug-in hybrid technology. The batteries are charged when the ship is connected to shore power, which is also an important focus area on clean energy, but can also be charged while operating the ship’s generators. The different steps of the project:

Step 1

– Battery power on bow thrusters and maneuvering when berthing in port.

– Optimises power usage during operation (Peak Shaving)

– Battery capacity 1 MWh

Step 2

– Battery operation in port and in the archipelago up to around 10 nautical miles

– Battery capacity about 20 MWh

Step 3

– Full battery power up to about 50 nautical miles

– Battery capacity about 50 MWh
