We will help to create a resilient environment that provides for our future by pursuing a long term goal of decarbonisation and optimising energy efficiency and protecting and, where viable, enhancing the biodiversity of the environment.

Over the years, we have made significant progress towards environmental sustainability by adopting a proactive approach towards sustainable shipping, expanding our fuel-efficient fleet and implementing a number of operational initiatives.

CNCo manages all risks that have the potential to impact our operations. We are measuring, monitoring and reporting our Environmental impact and have a number of initiatives in place to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and other negative environmental impact. Some of the initiatives to improve fleet fuel efficiency performance include:

• Monitoring voyages on-line and taking actions in case of speed deviation.
• Optimising and monitoring trim across multipurpose vessels (MPV) and bulk carriers fleets.
• Using high quality anti-fouling and slime release technology paints for under-water hull areas.
• Premature dry-docking of a number of poor performing vessels to clean or renew the under-water paint system to improve fuel efficiency.
• Monitoring hull and propeller performance.
• Monitoring electrical and boiler consumptions across the fleet.
