At ptw Shipyard, we care about reducing the carbon footprint in the superyacht industry, and we wanted to share the sustainable practices we've implemented. Our journey toward sustainability is a commitment to preserving the environment we all cherish. First, safety and compliance are integral to our approach. Through our advanced online documentation platform, we ensure that everyone involved prioritizes safety and environmentally responsible practices. To protect our environment, we've opted to install a drainage system and a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP). These measures ensure efficient waste management. Another notable milestone is the installation of 174 solar panels, generating 98kW of clean energy using PERC technology. This move aligns with our commitment to a cleaner, greener world. Beyond these initiatives, we actively engage with our employees, clients, and the local community to raise awareness about responsible yacht ownership and operation. Together, we're positively impacting the superyacht industry with a shared belief that environmental and social responsibility are part of our mission. Join us on this journey, where every effort counts toward a more sustainable future for our oceans and our planet. 🌍 #ptwshipyard #sustainability #maritimeIndustry #environment

Reflecting on my recent visit to Limassol, as I sit at the airport ready to depart, fills me with optimism. During a series of meetings with clients including owners, ship managers, and charterers in Limassol, I had many good discussions regarding how we can accelerate the green transition and one thing that stood out was the need for closer cooperation between the different stakeholders. Charterers and owners must work together on these matters if change is to be made. It was encouraging to attend the Capital Link Forum, where these matters were discussed and charterers were openly willing to invest in green technologies and work together with the owners and managers.' Such discussions are a promising indicator for the Cypriot maritime industry's readiness and willingness to work together to progress the green transition.   For me personally, they also yet again confirmed the necessity for the kind of holistic, technology-driven solutions Njord offers if we are to jointly make a success of the transition.

FLOW; MANAGED - by FjordTech ToxiClean FjordTech Solutions kicks-off new venture: FjordTech ToxiClean AS in which cleaning of contaminated slop from on-land hull-cleaning is handled sustainably. The Akershus Regional County has allocated in total NOK 25M for saving the Oslofjord from contamination, which includes legacy recovery, but not least stopping future polution to sea. In this context FjordTech Solutions may contribute both with their automated, in-water hull-cleaning solution "FTS FastTrack", but focused now on their ToxiClean on-land slop-water recovery solution. For the latter, FTS is setting up FjordTech ToxiClean AS with a separate management Jørgen Gudem for implementation and further development for 2024 onwards. A great milestone for FTS, but an even more important one for environment! www.https://fjord-tech.no/en/ FTS in a portfolio company of HEROCK www.herock.no #fjordtech #toxiclean #oslofjord #polution #environment #boatcleaning #herock #fts #fasttrack #akzonobel #asker #akershus #fylkesråd

Green Harbour Project Update #2/3: Exploring the Project's Scope    The Green Harbour Project's chosen scope was thoughtfully selected to ensure its tangibility and attainability to the net-zero goal. We've adopted a local approach that encompasses vessels engaged in transporting people, cargo, and providing various services within the harbor, excluding vessels primarily operating outside the harbor, as their path to net-zero emissions will be established on a more global scale. There are 80 vessels included in this project's scope including:  ·       Tugs  ·       Ferries  ·       Pilot Boats  ·       Dive Support  ·       Workboats We've consolidated data from these participating organizations to establish a collective baseline for energy usage and GHG emissions. Subsequently, we will identify suitable solutions to pave the way toward achieving net-zero emissions. Stay connected for more information about what to expect in the final report!  #decarbonization #netzero #sustainability #halifaxharbour #marineinnovation #collaboration #greenharbourproject #progressupdate

This #WorldMaritimeDay, we thank our 28,000-strong team for your commitment to responsible shipping.   This year's World Maritime theme – "MARPOL at 50 – Our commitment goes on" – resonates with our commitment at FLEET to caring for our environment, people and broader communities.   We have recently launched our new Encompass sustainability strategy, featuring our approach to ethical and responsible business based on four key pillars – Navigating Responsibly, Evolving Environmental Stewardship, Safeguarding People and Working Together.   Our approach to environmental stewardship covers a wide range of areas, including the use of resources to protecting biodiversity and ecosystem health to pollution prevention and waste management.   In working towards fostering a cleaner marine environment, we are committed to supporting MARPOL and other marine environmental protection requirements established under international, flag state, port state and coastal state laws. We continue to invest in innovative technology and collaborate with global partners to contribute towards addressing the ongoing climate crisis.   Our operations are certified to the ISO 14001: Environmental Management System and ISO 50001: Energy Management System standards. We are committed to maintaining these certifications that guide us in addressing our impact on the environment. Our focus is on actively reducing environmental risks and sharing information on environmental performance with external stakeholders including classification societies, flag states, shipowners and oil majors so we can collaborate to make progress together.   To learn more about our Encompass sustainability strategy and our performance, progress and targets from a sustainability standpoint, please read our 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 here → https://lnkd.in/gH-K2rAU   * * *   Photo credit:   • Gryb Andrii, Master (Photo: Whales swimming) • Sathishkumar Manickam, Additional Third Officer (Photo: Fish-eye view from the monkey bridge) • Kebin John, Able Seaman (Photo: Man with binoculars looking out to sea) • Ganesh Viswanath, Chief Officer (Photo: Man looking out to sea) • Gil Lito P Villaber, Ordinary Seaman (Photo: A ship sailing towards the sun) • Vadym Korniienko, Second Officer (Photo: The blue sky juxtaposed with the blue sea)   International Maritime Organization #FLEETWay #FLEETStories

The Environment Agency is set to make a crucial contribution to curbing carbon emissions from commercial workboats within the United Kingdom. The agency has successfully acquired four electric workboats and established two charging stations, as part of the Zero Emission Workboat Network (ZENOW) initiative. ZENOW, a collaborative effort involving 15 marine businesses and organisations in the UK, aims to eventually roll out the planet’s largest network of electric workboats with zero emissions. Under the leadership of RS Electric Boats (RSE), ZENOW has recently secured a £4.1 million grant from the Zero Emission Vessels and Infrastructure (ZEVI) competition, overseen by the UK Shipping Office for Emissions Reduction (UK SHORE) and Innovate UK. Lisa Craddock, a national navigation senior advisor for the Environment Agency, said "We are incredibly excited to have secured this funding. It means we can now trial 4 electric workboats and 2 charging points, free of charge, on the River Thames and in East Anglia, for the next 3 years. These will be the first electric boats of their kind in our fleet. “They will be used for river enforcement, monitoring and maintenance and will make a significant contribution to our pledge to reduce our fleet boat emissions by 50%. Many of our medium sized craft are approaching the end of their lives, so this bid is well timed in helping us make long term decisions on the technology we should be investing in.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eRpvWrQg #politics #government #uk #ukpolitics #ukgovernment #environment #policy #green #environmental #sustainability #renewable #energy #biodiversity
