Environmental work

For Ports of Stockholm it is important to improve our own business operations and at the same time work together with the shipping companies, our tenants and other stakeholders to contribute to reducing the impact our customers have on the environment.

We enable our customers to reduce their environmental impact through:

• vessel onshore power connection
• offloading facilities for waste and sewage
• environmental discounts

We reduce our own environmental impact through:

• reduced emissions
• increased waste recycling
• energy saving
• use of renewable energy, i.e. through solar cell systems
• environmentally aware selection of materials and chemicals
