We are also one of the 4 shipowners which founded the Global Industry Alliance (GIA), a new public- private partnership initiative of the world-level IMO organisation that aims to bring together maritime industry leaders to support an energy efficient and low carbon maritime transport system. IN VALENCIA, tugboats powered by hydrogen fuel cells are already interacting with our traffic. If this technology can be scaled up, hydrogen-based fuel could trigger a total redesign in engines, bringing online the first carbon-neutral ships. TECHNOLOGY is of course not a standalone solu- tion. Fuel savings are also the result of better man- agement. That’s why we apply environmental ship index calculations to measure our green footprint, using key performance indicators related to hy- drodynamics, punctuality, speed and trim, among other criteria. Without such measurements, there is no way of knowing if we are making progress. WE TRY TO ENSURE this energy-saving mentality permeates throughout the company. At internal meetings, routes, rotations and timetables are often re-examined to see if there is a more efficient option. We instruct masters on the best trim set- tings for certain manoeuvres. As for data, we are trying to increase its relevance by moving towards real-time monitoring: of gang performance, for example, ship speed profile, fuel consumption, propulsion power and other general parameters On the front line of the R&D revolution related to energy consumption.

A year ago the program’s visual appearance was revamped and during the summer of 2018 the operating system was updated to meet today’s demands. The basis for the update was to make the system more convenient for both club members and Finnlines personnel. The program was designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The new system is easy to use on various platforms, includ- ing mobile platforms, and is naturally up to par with all GDPR requirements. Club members can check and edit their personal details in the membership portal and view member-only offers and benefits. On request members receive a detailed summary of how and by whom their personal details have been reviewed or altered. Members also have the right to be forgotten, so that when they cancel their membership all personal data related to Star Club Loyalty the membership will be permanently removed.
