Energy Efficiency

Arkas Line is committed to reducing its environmental impact and operating its vessels in a sustainable manner. One of the key ways that Arkas Line is achieving this goal is by improving the energy efficiency of its vessels.

Arkas Achieves 99.73% Emission Savings in IT Processes with Microsoft Cloud Applications in 2023

In 2023, Arkas Holding achieved substantial environmental gains, realizing a 99.73% emission reduction in cloud-based workloads (equivalent to 389,080 km of car use).

The carbon emissions from the services that Arkas runs on the Microsoft cloud peaked in 2019 (the period when it migrated to Azure) and then showed around –10% yearly downward trend despite a +63% increase in workloads on Azure from 2019 to 2023.

The Carbon Intensity (carbon emission rate based on cloud-based workloads) value has decreased by 58% from 2019 to 2023. Investments in renewable energy sources made in Microsoft data centers have been effective in reducing this value.

These results underscore the company’s strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
