On 25 July 2019, Corsica Linea announced the signing of the construction contract for its first vessel powered by LNG.
The announcement came in line with the company’s energy transition strategy to enter sustainable maritime transport and speed up zero-emission goals. LNG as a marine fuel was chosen by the company due to its environmentally friendly features.
By using LNG, the French shipping company expects to reduce NOx by 85 per cent and CO2 by 25 per cent, and achieve zero sulfur emission and fine particles.
