The Yara Birkeland is the world’s first fully electric and autonomous container ship, developed by Yara International in collaboration with Kongsberg. Launched in 2021 and entering commercial operations in 2022, the vessel transports fertilizer between Porsgrunn and Brevik, Norway.

By replacing around 40,000 annual diesel truck trips, the ship significantly reduces CO2 emissions and contributes to greener shipping practices.
