Tiivistelmä
The aim of the study was to map the general emissions from domestic pas-senger ships and to examine the carbon footprint of the industry. The study also presented the calculation and modelling of emissions for a more detailed future mapping.
The study was conducted as a multi-method study. The numerical proportions included quantitative research, and the interview part, in which other main emissions were mapped in addition to exhaust emissions, consisted of a qualitative research approach. Statistical articulation methods were used in the evaluation of the study.
The research results show that the carbon footprint of domestic passenger ships is statistically significantly lower than that of passenger ships that con-sume 100-200 MT of exhaust emissions. The study also clarified the calculat-ed share of other exhaust emissions in addition to carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, the results of the qualitative share show that the entire industry has already taken significant measures to promote carbon neutrality through local food and the circular economy.
