Energy-efficient vessels by design
Decisions taken at the specification stage determine a vessel's fuel consumption and emissions for decades.
EEDI & SEEMP
Newbuilding specifications that meet or exceed EEDI requirements, and a SEEMP in place for every delivered vessel.
MARPOL Annex VI
Compliance with limits on SOx, NOx, particulate matter and CO₂.
Fuel flexibility
Designs and retrofits prepared for LNG, biofuels, ammonia and hydrogen.
Efficient technology
Optimised hull forms, hybrid propulsion, energy storage and onboard renewables.
Data & digitalisation
Fuel-optimisation software and energy monitoring for measurable savings.
Responsible supply chain
Working with yards and suppliers that share our commitment to lower emissions.
Supporting the IMO 2023 GHG Strategy
The IMO's 2023 strategy targets net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from international shipping by or around 2050. We help owners plan fleets and newbuildings that can meet the tightening milestones along the way.
This policy is reviewed annually, and senior management is accountable for its implementation.
