The Safe Time-slot Gävle project aims to develop working methods and regulations for the port so that ships on their way to Gävle’s quays can choose to travel at a reduced speed. This allows vessels to save on fuel consumption, which spares the environment from large amounts of CO2 being emitted.
The project has the potential to be a game-changer in maritime transport and an important step toward a sustainable maritime transport system.
In addition to major environmental savings, it will mean that all stakeholders will have greater foresight when planning for ship arrivals.
Safe Time-slot Gävle is supported by the Swedish Energy Agency and is carried out by Gävle Hamn AB, the shipping company Tärntank, the cargo owner Preem and VTI (Swedish Road and Transport Research Institute).
The project is a collaboration between the actors of port of Gävle´s energy terminal.
