Verified emissions data

Carbon footprint information on Fred. Olsen Express

At Fred. Olsen Express we are committed to sustainability and to offering our customers the greatest transparency. Therefore, we provide our customers with carbon footprint data related to our inter-island transport services. These calculations correspond to the last closed year and are externally verified, which guarantees their rigor and accuracy. Below is the information we provide to our customers:

  • Registered cargo customers: We provide them with the emissions generated by all cargo transported and journeys made with Fred. Olsen Express.
  • Other customers: We provide them with an emission factor that they can use to calculate their trip emissions. Simply multiply the number of trips you have made with us by this factor. Below are the emission factors for each inter-island route in 2023.

How to calculate my CO2 emissions?

To calculate CO2 emissions, it is necessary to take into account your number of trips and passengers on each journey. From this data, you will be able to calculate indirect emissions. It is important to note that freight vehicles are not included in this calculation. The basic formula for calculating total emissions is:

Total emissions (tCO2) = no. of trips x no. of passengers x emission factor per trip.

In maritime transport, the calculation of emissions assigned to passengers must also include the weight of their private vehicles. 
Therefore, the emission per passenger covers the proportional part of the emissions generated by the transport of these vehicles. Regardless of whether the passenger travels with or without a vehicle, the emissions from private vehicles are distributed among all passengers.

If specific data on the number of trips and passengers per route is not available, the following aggregate emission factor can be used for our entire fleet of NGVs:

  • Emission factor of the entire NGV (high speed vessel) fleet of Fred. Olsen Express (2023): 0.02984 tonCO2/trip and passenger
