Fjord Line’s passenger ferry MS Stavangerfjord
The IMO's Energy Efficiency Award (previously Clean Ship Award) went to Fjord Lines' Stavangerfjord - designed and constructed by Bergen Group Fosen.
The award pays tribute to the ship that makes the greatest contribution towards energy efficiency in relation to its function or operation. Stavangerfjord will, from mid July, operate as a night ferry on the Bergen-Stavanger-Hirtshals route in Norway and as a day ferry on the Hirtshals-Langesund route.
For many years, Nor-Shipping has served as a strong platform for the promotion of environmentally responsible performance within the industry.
Honoring this tradition in 2013 is the Energy Efficiency Award, which pays tribute to the ship that has contributed the greatest towards energy efficiency in relation to its function and operation.
This award continues the spirit of the 2011 Clean Ship Award. The Energy Efficiency Award, however, addresses more than emissions, focusing on the root of the problem rather than its consequence.
