đą The Skretting Gro is a great example of what can be achieved when partners work together to make shipping more sustainable.
As the first vessel in the collaboration between Skretting, Strand Shipping, and Vertom, the Skretting Gro marks an important step towards more sustainable short-sea shipping.
Following her voyage from India, the vessel was equipped in Bremerhaven, Germany, with two impressive VentoFoils, each standing 18 metres tall and designed to harness the power of the wind as an additional source of propulsion.
By combining wind-assisted propulsion with the vesselâs existing power system, we are taking a concrete step towards reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while maintaining the flexibility and efficiency required for modern short-sea shipping.
The Skretting Gro demonstrates that making shipping more sustainable is a journey we cannot undertake alone. It requires collaboration, innovation and a shared commitment across the entire value chain.
