Reducing our environmental impact

Together with its partners, Concordia Maritime engages in systematic, long-term work on minimising the impact. There is a strong focus on ensuring efficient fuel and energy use. Activities and measures include continuous monitoring of vessels’ energy consumption, and systems and routines that enable speed and route optimisation based on weather conditions, demurrage, bunker costs and customer needs. The work includes procedures related to operation at sea, as well as waiting in port.

Concordia Maritime’s own environmental impacts are emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides and harmful particles associated with bunker fuel consumption. In addition, there is also a potential risk of spreading organisms as a result of the discharge of ballast water. In both areas, work is carried out to reduce or completely eliminate the environmental impact.
