Environmental Issues and Sustainability: Why We Need to Act Now

As an experienced maritime service provider, TWS Maritime Service is committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the shipping industry. In this article, we will discuss the latest environmental regulations and highlight our efforts towards sustainability.

The shipping industry has been under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) introducing a range of measures to tackle emissions and pollution. The IMO's most recent regulations include the implementation of a global sulfur cap on marine fuels, aiming to reduce the sulfur content from 3.5% to 0.5%. This regulation has been in effect since January 2020 and has already shown positive results in reducing sulfur oxide emissions.

Furthermore, the IMO has set an ambitious target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry by at least 50% by 2050, compared to 2008 levels. This target is in line with the Paris Agreement and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

At TWS Maritime Service, we recognize the importance of these regulations and their impact on the environment. We are committed to doing our part to support these goals and promote sustainable practices in the shipping industry.

One way we contribute to this effort is through our cargo surveys. Our surveyors pay close attention to cargo loading and unloading procedures, ensuring that all cargo is loaded safely and securely to prevent spills and damage to the environment. We also conduct regular inspections of cargo holds and tanks to ensure that they are in good condition and free from leaks.

In addition to our cargo surveys, we have implemented a number of sustainable practices within our own operations. We have reduced paper usage by digitizing our documentation processes and implemented energy-efficient practices in our offices. We also promote sustainable practices to our clients, encouraging them to implement sustainable practices in their own operations.

Furthermore, we are committed to staying up-to-date with the latest environmental regulations and industry developments. Our team undergoes regular training and education to ensure we stay informed and knowledgeable about sustainable practices in the shipping industry.

In conclusion, at TWS Maritime Service, we recognize the importance of promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in the shipping industry. We are committed to doing our part to support these goals and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment for all.

As part of our efforts towards sustainability, we have been gradually replacing our gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles with environmentally friendly ones such as electric and hybrid cars.
