The company’s goal is to reduce their carbon footprint across all ships they manage by undertaking several measures to preserve the environment and reduce the fuel consumption on their seagoing fleet. Some of their initiatives included the following:

Application of high-quality paints on ship's Hull;
Fitment of energy-saving devices like propeller Boss Cap Fins;
Development of in-house software to track ship's carbon emissions accurately;
Fitment of devices on board to accurately measure various parameters like main engine power and fuel meters to allow precise calculation of carbon emission;
Strategic development for decarbonization, sea-going voyage optimization, fuel savings and ship's Hull optimization;
Reduction of plastic waste; and
Progress installing drinking water purification systems onboard their ships to reduce plastic waste at sea.

These initiatives resulted in a 3-5 % fuel savings due to the installation of propeller boss cap fins, a 3-5 % fuel saving by application of high-quality hull paints, and a reduction of 600,000 Plastic bottles annually. With on-going energy conservation program, the company is able to save 1 MT of fuel per day while sailing per ship. This is expected to bring savings to their owners in the range of 100,000 to 125,000 USD per ship per year. Protection of environment & energy conservation is what the company wants to offer its owners and charterers in times to come. The company is actively involved in compliance to Poseidon principles and Sea cargo charter initiatives to offer its clients good commercial viability in the shipping market.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
