APL has been named the ‘Best Green Shipping Line’ by HAROPA, the French port of Le Havre, Rouen for the second year in a row.
This is due to APL’s exemplary environmental performance in reducing air emissions beyond the International Maritime Organization’s standards, say HAROPA.
Benchmarked against the Environmental Ship Index (ESI) that evaluates the emission levels of nitrogen oxide, sulphur oxide and carbon of a ship, APL vessels achieved excellent scores to be ranked amongst the cleanest containerships that called the French port in 2015.
APL’s commendable environmental performance is attributed to its continual improvements in operational efficiency, fleet and voyage optimisation, technical improvements, use of cleaner fuels and fleet of environmentally-friendly vessels.
APL’s pursuits in environmental excellence have consistently been recognised by the industry. Previously, it also won the Port Metro Vancouver Blue Circle Award for excellence in air emissions reduction, and the 75 Green Supply Chain Partners award by Inbound Logistics magazine for attaining its carbon emissions target.
