We do what we can for our planet
Anglo-Eastern respects and values our environment, oceans and biodiversity, championing clean and sustainable ways to take the industry forwards.
ESG
Environmental Stewardship
We have long prioritised the need to drive green initiatives to ensure a better future. Alongside the IMO’s ambitions to reduce total annual GHG emissions by at least 20% by 2030, we are committed to the sustainable operation of both our fleet and our organisation.
Anglo-Eastern consistently exceeds the minimum compliance requirements outlined by various regulatory bodies. Our focus on environmental excellence, throughout our operations, maintains our position at the forefront of the industry.
We are proud adherents of MARPOL regulations and other IMO’s environmental conventions, as well as being certified to ISO 14001 Environmental Management standards.
Anglo-Eastern has pledged with IMPA SAVE to reduce the use of plastic drinking bottles on board by 2025.
The task group established to implement our plastic reduction strategy has set the following targets:
- 6 months: 10% reduction
- 12 months: 20% reduction
- 18 months: 30% reduction
- 24 months: 50% reduction
82% of our managed ships are installed with Ballast Water Management Systems (BWMS), with the remaining 18% employing the necessary Ballast Water Exchange requirements, and all are operating in compliance with the Ballast Water Management Convention.
We have dedicated ballast water training centres at the Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy in Karjat which houses three fully operational BWMS, and one fully operational BWMS at our Manila training centre.
Innovation
Decarbonisation Pathway
Decarbonisation through digitalisation and design will be crucial in making shipping sustainable. This is reflected across our departments, innovations, and partnerships.
Comprising a dedicated team of experienced chief engineers and masters, AEFPC’s purpose is to build user confidence, assist in the identification of trends, and translate data into actionable decision-making to improve overall fleet safety, performance efficiency, regulatory compliance, and predictive maintenance, while providing safe navigation decision-making support for ship operators.
Through our naval architecture divisions, Anglo-Eastern Technical Services (AETS) and Seaquest, we have collaborated with shipowners on numerous retrofit projects and novel vessel designs aimed at reducing or eliminating emissions. We continue to advise and support shipowners in matters relating to compliance with forthcoming emissions regulations, and have conducted numerous new and existing vessel reviews, offering lifecycle sustainability assessments, alternative fuel technologies, and options for optimisation.
Through collaborations with our peers and partners, we are advancing industry understanding and the availability of solutions.
We are a member of a joint study framework aimed at advancing ammonia as an alternative marine fuel and have partnered with other like-minded organisations to help drive decarbonisation and sustainability.
Environmental Commitment
Being neutral
We also embrace carbon offsetting measures as part of our journey to becoming a responsible corporate citizen, but do so in full recognition that this reflects a mere stepping stone towards making real changes in the way we run our business, the way we do things, the way we work and live our lives.
