The energy transition in the ferry sector takes a decisive step in the Baltic Sea. TT Line, one of northern Europe’s leading shipping companies, has announced that it will use liquefied biogas (bio-LNG) on its ferries. This news represents a turning point for the entire Baltic area, where the issue of sustainability is now central.
With more than 60 years in business and a strategic route network between Sweden, Germany and Lithuania, TT Line once again demonstrates its willingness to innovate and anticipate the needs of contemporary shipping. In this in-depth look in detail at what the “green” project involves , how bio-LNG works, what benefits it brings to passengers, and what routes the company is operating in 2025- 2026.
The news: TT Line will use biogas on its ferries
TT Line has partnered to procure bio-LNG, which will become a fuel used on some ships in its fleet. Bio-LNG is a renewable fuel made from agricultural waste, organic waste and anaerobic digestion processes. Once purified and liquefied, it can be used in marine engines instead of fossil LNG.
Why is this important news?
-
Drastically reduces environmental impact, with significant cuts to the CO₂ emitted into the atmosphere.
-
It allows companies to get ahead of European regulations in the FuelEU Maritime package, which imposes stringent emission reduction targets.
-
It makes TT Line routes between Sweden, Germany and Lithuania among the most sustainable in Northern Europe.
-
It contributes to the creation of a European biogas supply chain, strengthening the circular economy.
TT Line has been working for years to make its ferry fleet more efficient, but the use of biogas is a very concrete step toward decarbonization, no longer just theoretical but implemented in practice.
What changes for passengers: greener ferries without sacrificing comfort
For those traveling aboard TT Line ferries between Sweden, Germany and Lithuania, the news translates into immediate benefits:
1. Greener ferries
The use of bio-LNG decreases not only CO₂ but also particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, making the marine environment and port areas cleaner.
2. No difference in comfort
The biogas in no way changes the experience on board TT Line ferries: the sailing speed, stability and services remain the same.
3. Verifiable commitment
By checking biogas certifications, passengers can verify (and choose) an operator that invests in real sustainability, not just advertising.
