Viking Glory and Viking Grace operate on liquefied natural gas (LNG) and our food waste is used as raw material for biofuel.

The vessel you where looking at from above was M/S Seagas - LNG bunker. Gasum has the following information about their vessel: Seagas was retrofitted from car ferry to LNG fuelling vessel in 2012 at Fiskerstrand verft, Norway. She was specially built for ship-to-ship refuelling. The vessel can supply LNG driven vessels with up to 160 m3 LNG in about 45 minutes. Seagas was the first of its kind in the world and is classified according to the same regulations as for ocean-going LNG tankers. On a daily basis Seagas delivers between 60-70 ton LNG to the Viking Line cruise ships M/S Viking Grace and M/S Viking Glory. The bunker operation takes place as the vessels are moored at Stadsgården in central Stockholm. Meanwhile passengers and goods are unloaded and loaded. With Seagas’ safe LNG bunker solution we meet Viking Line’s needs for efficient bunkering including the highest safety standard as both are important in this context.

Thank you somuch. I have learnt something new.

Ehkäpä jopa arvattavasti, suosittelen kesälle risteilyä Päijänteellä. En tiedä millainen tarjonta on nykyisin, en ole pitkään aikaan ollut itse siellä. Risteilyllä saa erilaisen kuvan Päijänteestä kuin vain rannoilta käsin.

In case your audience isn't knowledgeable about the environmental effects of cruising and shipping, the following might be useful information: Benefits of LNG as a marine fuel With liquefied natural gas, LNG, shipping companies can operate freely in sulfur emission control areas (SECA’s). Switching to LNG means complete removal of sulfur oxides (SOx) and particles, and reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions of up to 85 percent. LNG reduces CO2 emissions by at least 20 percent. With LNG as a marine fuel, shipping industry can reduce emissions already today. As a ship fuel, LNG is interchangeable with renewable LBG (liquefied biogas, also called bio-LNG), which produces up to 90% less carbon dioxide emissions than conventional fuel. In the future, there will be renewable synthetic LNG (e-LNG) available which is chemically identical to LNG and LBG. The potential of renewable LBG and e-LNG is significant. The Nordic countries alone could produce over 400 TWh of these renewable fuels, an amount nearly equivalent to the total energy currently used for refueling ships across the EU. There is excellent availability of liquefied gas and a well-developed infrastructure for distributing the fuel. Since both LNG and LBG consist of methane, companies can switch to, switch between, or blend the fuels. With liquefied gas as a fuel, you are future-proof.
