Havila Kystruten to Reassess Emissions Targets Under Proposed Shorter Coastal Contracts

• Havila Kystruten will reassess its climate-neutral operations target for 2028 and zero-emissions goal from 2030 once final coastal contract terms are established.
• Norway proposes cutting coastal route contracts to 4-5 years from 10, weakening the basis for major climate investments.
• Investments in vessel adaptations for the next contract, including car transportation modifications, are on hold where work has not started.
• Parliament is expected to decide in December 2026, with tendering expected in 2027; the current contract remains unaffected through 2030.
• Shorter contracts would increasingly shift growth toward commercial markets outside the coastal route; vessels are designed for alternative deployment.
