USE OF RENEWABLE FORMS OF ENERGY HAS INCREASED IN THE PORT
We have increased the use of renewable forms of energy in our buildings . We have improved energy-efficiency in conjunction with the renovation of the terminal building , and last year we introduced geothermal energy in the heating of the terminal , which enhances energy-efficiency .
Other energy savings , and projects for reducing maintenance costs and emissions have been implemented in the Port of Naantali as follows :
• In 2016 , LED lights with new technology were introduced in the lighting of outdoor areas
• In 2020 , outdoor field area arrangements were implemented that decreased unnecessary driving and transfers of heavy vehicles in the port area by around 60,000 km per year
• In 2021 , the Port started purchasing and using wind-generated energy
DIRECT CONNECTIONS BY LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE FROM TURKU TO THE NAANTALI TERMINAL – SHIP PASSENGERS TRANSFER FROM TERMINAL BY BUS DIRECTLY TO THE SHIP
So far Finnlines has taken on board in Naantali commercial travellers who sail the Långnäs – Kapelskär route with a vehicle , but from the next autumn on the new vessels will offer a completely updated system for passengers on foot as well .
There will be a new direct connection from Turku to the Naantali port terminal provided by the local public transport system Föli , which will facilitate the departure and arrival of ship passengers . The passengers will be picked up from the renovated port terminal by a bus that carries the passengers directly into the ship .
The range of services on board the ship will also increase regarding conferences and events , as the new vessels offer new meeting and conference rooms for arranging various training and other events . n seatec 1 / 2023 35
