'Blue Horizons' brings together stories from around the world to illustrate humans' intricate relationships with the ocean. From northern Norway's icy waters to Roatan's coral reefs, each episode uncovers how this vast ecosystem supports livelihoods, provides essential resources, and sustains the planet. The series aims to raise awareness about the ocean's crucial role in our lives and the urgent need to protect it.
One of the standout stories in the series is that of Lise Henriksen, Odfjell’s first female captain. Her journey is a testament to perseverance and the opportunities the maritime industry can offer. "When we are out at sea, it kind of feels like there’s freedom. It’s just a nice feeling; you don’t need to think about too much else, you just breathe in the fresh air," she shares, encapsulating her connection with the ocean.
Odfjell has been proactive in targeting energy efficiency and emission reductions. Since 2007, we have installed over 135 energy-saving devices, significantly reducing fuel consumption. Our initiatives include frequent propeller cleanings, advanced weather routing, and pioneering technologies such as suction sails and solid oxide fuel cells. Our efforts have led to a 52% reduction in fuel consumption per tonne of cargo transported one nautical mile.
The Blue Horizons series not only celebrates these technological advancements but also the humans that drive them. Odfjell's feature in the series underscores our commitment to sustainability and innovation, setting a benchmark for the maritime industry in the journey towards a greener future.
