Work on Hurtigruten Norway’s seven Norwegian Coastal Express ships will also cut nitrous oxide emissions “by as much as 80%”, it said. All the upgrades will be completed in 2023.
“This is the largest environmental upgrade in Hurtigruten’s history, and one of the largest of its kind in Europe,” said Hedda Felin, Hurtigruten Norway chief executive.
“This will make a real impact in reducing emissions in Norwegian waters. The fact that such an investment also leads to ripple effects in the local communities along the coast, is something we are very proud of."
