Reducing emissions from its ocean fleet to improve environmental performance
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics issues its Environmental Sustainability Report for 2011 “Delivering a Sustainable Fututre”
As a forerunner, WWL believes in setting goals, tracking performance and delivering results. Reducing emissions from its ocean fleet is the single greatest way to improve environmental performance. To achieve this, WWL operates its vessels with low-sulphur fuel at sea and use fuel with lesser sulphur content for auxiliary engines at berth. WWL new buildings and retrofits focus on more fuel-efficient design and equipment that reduces environmental impacts.
As of 2011, 14% of vessels have been equipped with Ballast Water treatment systems ahead of pending regulations.
