National award for CO2 saving
Sea SA is proud to have achieved the AUSMEPA (Australian Marine Environment Protection Association) award for its potential to save more than 24,000 tonnes of carbon emissions from road traffic annually.
Every vehicle which travels by ferry between Wallaroo and Lucky Bay saves over 350 kilometres in road travel, making the cross-Gulf voyage an environmentally friendly option, as well as a more relaxing way to travel.
Sea SA Managing Director, Stephanie Dawson, said, "Our aim, to operate two ferries on this route, will produce 733 tonnes of CO2 annually. To drive around the Gulf, the same volume of vehicles would produce 25,110 tonnes of CO2 annually, which is 34 times as much."
In just over 2 years of service, Sea SA has carried more than 78,000 vehicles and over 182,000 passengers.
