At the same time, Elkem ASA announced that they have entered into a long-term agreement with NCL to further improve Elkem’s North Sea logistics. Enabling the use of green methanol as fuel, featuring high safety standards, the new ships will enable operational efficiently and more climate-friendly shortsea liner service between Norway and the ports of Rotterdam and Moerdijk.

Kees Groeneveld, CEO of Euro Nordic, adds: “We are very proud of our two business partners, NCL and Elkem. This investment and long-term cooperation commitment is a big steppingstone into shaping a more sustainable future and enables carbon neutral shipping. Green is indeed the new standard.”
