Finalising the necessary documents to officially launch the certification
The Bureau Green Award is to add chemical tankers to its portfolio of vessel types.
Currently, the Rotterdam-based foundation said that is working on finalising the necessary documents to officially launch the certification for this vessel type.
Vessels and operators wishing to enrol chemical tankers for a Green Award certificate will be able to download the requirements from the foundations’ website
The foundation said that it plans to extend the scheme to other types of vessels in the future.
“We have already been contacted by a few shipping companies that expressed their interest in applying their chemical tankers for Green Award”, the foundation said in its latest newsletter.
In addition, all Green Award certified ships are now entitled to a 10% discount on the standard engineering costs of the service provided by JLMD E Group for its fast oil recovery system (FORS).
JLMD is a French maritime engineering company, majoring in technologies for the recovery of pollutants leaked from ships and the developer of FORS. It has already been installed on a diverse range of ships, including tankers.
FORS is pre-installed on board equipment to secure the cargo and bunker tanks to facilitate the easy recovery of pollutants in case of incident/accident and providing a proactive solution to reduce and mitigate the impact of an accidental pollution.
