ENVIRONMENT – OUR STRATEGY FOR CLIMATE CHANGE & ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Transporting petrochemical products and livestock is a challenge we face every day to meet our customers’ needs while upholding stringent environmental and safety standards.
We work responsibly, implementing sustainable practices, procedures and policies based on good corporate governance, integrity and care for the environment. These are reflected in the way we take decisions, interact with one another and behave with our customers and stakeholders.
GULFNAV’s environmental strategy and approach to sustainability demonstrate a clear commitment to running a responsible business while respecting the environment and embracing precautionary efforts to mitigate broad global climate change and environmental impacts.
To achieve its vision, GULFNAV promotes a strategic focus on cleaner seas, land and cargo through monitoring and maintaining Inventory of Hazardous Materials (IHM) in line with IMO Hong Kong Convention 2009 on Recycling of Ships and EU SRR 2013, and by investments in innovative low-carbon technology, energy efficiency and operational efficiency. Additionally, GULFNAV fleet was greatly enhanced in recent years by a retrofitting programme. We have invested extensively in the latest generation of marine technologies, such as new energy-efficient propellers and bows to reduce fuel consumption and therefore improve our energy efficiency.
Our commitment to pass cleaner environment to our future generation is displayed by our continues efforts to not only meet prevailing Statutory requirements but also to act proactively to forth coming requirements. Above mentioned IHM requirements not only ensure controls of hazardous material during ship building and operational life of the ship, but also ensure environmentally safe recycling of the ships too.
We continuously monitor our environmental performance and have implemented a number of operational measures to further reduce our CO2 emissions to meet expected new regulations, including those to be adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
