Eckerö Line uses renewable diesel to greenify ferry operations in Baltic Sea

Eckerö Line, a Finland-based company operating ferry services between Helsinki and Tallinn, is continuing its collaboration with compatriot producer of sustainable fuels Neste to cut maritime emissions in the Baltic Sea by powering its vessels with clean fuels.

Providing freight and passenger services on the Baltic Sea, Eckerö Line has adopted Neste’s renewable diesel for commercial maritime transport. By replacing a part of the fuel it uses for its operations with renewable diesel, Eckerö Line responds to the 2% emissions reduction requirement of the FuelEU Maritime regulation, which came into effect at the beginning of 2025, and encourages the use of lower-emission fuels in maritime transport.
