Green ships into the future
Digitalisation and new technology are key drivers of Havila’s leadership in sustainability, achieving reduced emissions and increased safety and efficiency with the green ships.
Havila Shipping was among the first to install battery packages on-board their vessels. Fuel consumption is digitalized and carefully monitored. Heat recovery is utilised, ships are prepared for shore power and the fleet has environmental accounting.
Havila Shipping has some of the cleanest vessels in the offshore fleet. This is good news for both environment and clients. However, we know that there is still a lot of work to do to match our environmental footprint with the green color of our vessels.
Havila Shipping’s competence from years of record newbuild activity and innovations is now being used for leading Havila’s Green ships into the future. Through cooperation with customers, technology companies and academia, we develop tomorrow’s ships for the energy industry.
To help us stay focused, we have defined short, mid and long-term goals for reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Our commitment is
- 3 % reduction of our co2-emission intensity per year until the sustainability strategy is reviewed in 2025.
- to reduce 50% emission intensity by 2030
- achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Our approach to environment
WE MEET OR EXCEED ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION THAT RELATES TO OUR COMPANY AND ACTIVITY.
Our approach to environment is developed through a corporate policy that leads us to:
- Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that relates to the Company.
- Ensure employee awareness and training to the company’s environmental policy and environmental aspects of the organisation’s activities, products and services that could be affected by their work.
- Ensure all contractors carrying out work for Havila Shipping ASA have appropriate competence and training to comply with the environmental policies.
- Establish specific environmental targets which include key performance indicators (KPI) that serve as guidelines for measurements.
- Safeguard accidental impact through implementation and monitoring of proactive management systems, risk assessments and certifications.
- Minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.
- Actively promote recycling both internally and amongst our customers and suppliers.
- Source and promote a product range to minimise the environmental impact of onshore and offshore activities.
- Address reduction of toxic emissions through fleet optimization, including its power requirement.
EXAMPLES OF SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVES IN HAVILA SHIPPING
Havila Shipping is a forerunner in terms of battery packages on-board offshore ships.
Batteries often enable ships to use just one instead of two engines. Batteries lead the way and save on both fuel and emissions. Average annual numbers for a vessel’s operation in dynamic positioning speaks of an 18 per cent cut in fuel consumption. Our ships achieved a 12.3 prosent reduction of co2 emission intensity in 2022
Fuel consumption surveillance is installed in more than half of Havila Shipping’s own ships.
Digitalisation and detailed monitoring provide accurate feedback on how much fuel is being used in various operations at different speeds. That is fundamental to Havila’s crew being able to carry out the good job in adapting timetable, speed and operating with optimal energy efficiency. Our commitment is a 3 % reduction of our co2-emission intensity per year until the sustainability strategy is reviewed in 2025. We also expect focus from charterers to reduce fuel consumption during operations.
Digitalisation and data acquisition are increasingly used in many areas, such as automation of maintenance.
It strengthens knowledge competence and provides both human learning and machine learning that are used towards more secure and efficient operation.
Ever more ships are adapted to shore power.
This saves fuel and CO2 emissions when ships are by shore but also caters for zero emissions and clean air in the harbour. In addition, it is good news in relation to the working environment when crew work and live on-board a completely silent ship. In the next few years we plan to expand shore power to the entire fleet. We also expect an expansion of shore-power capacity at ports. It will enable even more use of clean electricity.
Fuel and CO2 emissions are documented in Havila Shipping’s environmental accounting together with other information of rubbish handling and chemical use.
The numbers for the environmental accounting are used for making fact-based decisions and to secure documented improvements. More numbers and facts related to ESG are presented in our annual sustainability report.
Havila Shipping takes part in research projects and tests prototypes within environmental technology.
The aim is a continuously reduced environmental footprint. Havila Shipping’s vessels will justify the colour green.
Havila Shipping is strongly involved in ensuring the development of expertise and education in the maritime sector
The company is involved in the Centres for Research-based Innovation (SFI) marine operations, which aim to build up or strengthen Norwegian research groups that work in close cooperation with innovative businesses.
The aim is a continuously reduced environmental footprint. Havila Shipping’s vessels will justify the colour green.
A trusted and responsible partner
Havila Shipping is committed to developing an organizational culture which implements a policy of support for internationally recognized human rights and seeks to avoid complicity in human rights abuse. We have identified risks linked to topics such as terms of employment, workplace discriminations and health and safety.
