The Chamber of Shipping of America has presented the Environmental Achievement Award to 97 Teekay vessels recognizing owners and operators for their excellent record of environmental accomplishment.
The vessels receiving the award have at least a two-year period of no reportable spills, no U.S. Coast Guard citations for violations of MARPOL, no port state citations for violations of MARPOL, and no violations of state/local pollution regulations.
Kathy J. Metcalf, President of CSA said, “These awards celebrate the dedication to environmental excellence of our seafarers and the company personnel shore-side who operate our vessels to the highest standards. In today’s world, it seems our industry only gets front-page news when spills or other environmental problems occur. It is encouraging to see how many vessels go for years achieving environmental excellence. It should be clear to the American public that we in the maritime industry take our stewardship of the marine environment very seriously.”
”We will like to congratulate the 97 Teekay vessels receiving the award. It is a testament to their commitment to our #TeekaySpirit values. Keep up the good work!”, Teekay stated.
