Ferry crossing is considered a vital part of the Norwegian road network, both for passenger and freight transport. However, Norway ferry services contributes to 17% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Varied measures in the transport sector are put in place to achieve Norway’s climate target as committed to in the Paris Agreement. The purpose of this study is to document how the authorities have reduced GHG emissions from the sector through the tendering process for the purchase of domestic ferry services. The study concludes that authorities have used a ”push and pull” strategy to reduce the GHG emissions. We will investigate the economic and environmental effects of this new purchase strategy.

“…Norway ferries contribute 17% of emissions in Europe (Siemens Energy & Bellona, 2022). In 2017 total domestic shipping emissions accounted for 12.7% of Norway's total CO 2 emissions (Saether & Moe, 2021). Moreover, 1.4% came from ferry operations.…”

“…The seas are considered one of the most important expanses of our planet, having always been used not only as a source of food and energy, but also as a means of transportation. The ever-increasing desire to utilize this vast resource while ensuring its preservation is now an area where engineers are adapting a growing number of land-based technologies to green marine applications . In return for this growth, the environmental impact of intensive maritime operationsin particular, the pollutants emitted by ship exhaust gasescan no longer be ignored .…”

The urgency of reducing flue gas pollution in maritime transport makes it necessary to take a holistic view of its sustainability and environmental impacts. Among the approaches to reducing ship exhaust emissions, marinized gas scrubbers, given their ability to be retrofitted to existing ships, are a central element in the tradeoff against the use of expensive low-sulfur fuels. However, compounding this issue, the priority of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the coming decades poses new challenges to emissions compliance. The use of exhaust gas cleaning systems to remove SO X , NO X , and particulate matter (PM) emissions will be enhanced in the short to medium term by GHG reductions. In this study, the different types of scrubbers for seaborne operation and the potential risks associated with their secondary emissions will be critically reviewed. In addition, NO X reduction systems and recent efforts to reduce CO 2 through onboard carbon capture systems or alternative fuel combustion will also be covered.

“…To complicate things more, requirements also become more complex, such as for example zero local emission sailing requirements or future technology readiness. For short routes where shore charging infrastructure is available, full electric sailing is an attractive option, with several full electric ferries already sailing mostly in urban environments or sensitive nature preserve areas (Saether & Moe, 2021). An example can be shown in the figure below:…”
