We follow the green development strategy and actively cope with climate change issues, in response to China's goal of "Peak Carbon Emission & Carbon Neutrality". Leading the green and intelligent shipping with forward-looking environmental management and research capabilities, we are heading towards the vision of becoming the outstanding leader in global energy transportation.
We strictly comply with international, domestic and industry laws and regulations, and have established a ship-shore collaborative environmental management system in line with our environmental factors. To reach the goal of "zero pollution, high efficiency and low emissions", we have been working hard to reduce the environmental impact of ship transportation in all operation cycle which would damage the ocean, atmosphere and ports.
Responding to Global Climate Change
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The environmental impact of energy transportation and the challenges that a changing climate may pose to our operations are important considerations in determining our strategies. Therefore, we have been using our expertise to address climate change, including controlling CO2 emissions in our operations, and conducting research on eco-friendly ships and alternative marine fuels based on our technological and management innovation.
Climate Change: Risks and Opportunities
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), we leverage scientific, publicly available climate change scenarios provided by authoritative bodies such as the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to 1) distinguish between links in our value chain; 2) identify climate change-related risks and opportunities and their potential financial impact in the short, medium and Long term; and ultimately 3) enhance our adaptability to uncertain climatic conditions.

In 2021:
targeted to reduce 3% of hazardous waste every year
our ships discharged 10,767.16 tonnes of hazardous waste, 22.75% lower than that in 2020
our ships discharged 607.40tonnes of non-hazardous waste (garbage)
202 sewage discharge arrangements were made, total sewage discharge volume was1,895.81m3
the unit turnover emission of CO2 of our ships was 7.27 kg/1,000 tonne-miles, 3.58% lower than in 2020
the unit turnover emission of NOx was 0.17 kg/1,000 tonne-miles, 5.56% lower than in 2020
the unit turnover emission of SOx was 0.02 kg/1,000 tonne-miles
ince our business gives us a closer relationship with the ocean, we have been identifying the impact of each part of energy transport on marine biodiversity, considering systematic strategies (starting from route planning) to eliminate environmental impacts of routes and ports of call, and working with stakeholders to protect marine ecosystems.
Protecting Marine Biodiversity
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
To protect the biodiversity and the beauty of oceans, we identify environmental factors that may have adverse effects on marine ecosystems, genetic resources, and biodiversity in the shipping process, including slop water, sailing noise, and biofouling generated from ballast water operations and tank washing. Targeted management measures will then be carried out.
Mitigating Environmental Impacts of Shipping
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
We have formulated a high-standard environmental management system and detailed measures and procedures to manage the identified environmental impact factors. We have proposed management standards that are compliant with and even more stringent than international conventions to minimize environmental impacts from a ship in its whole lifecycle.
VOCs : In compliance with MARPOL73/78 requirements, we formulate the using cargo vapor collection system to collect VOCs
Ship Recycling : We follow the non-mandatory Industry Code of Practice on Ship Recycling, provide the shipyard with a complete list of hazardous substances and assist the shipyard in discharging potentially harmful liquid from the ship, so as to reduce the environmental impact from scrapping.
