Eco-Efficient Operations

We operate our vessels to high environmental standards, delivering reliable offshore operations while continuously working to minimise environmental impact.

Eco-efficient operations are about using resources efficiently, preventing pollution and managing our interaction with the marine environment. Our approach is embedded in daily operations and supported by clear procedures, recognized management systems and continuous improvement.

What we focus on

  1. Preventing pollution to air and water
  2. Minimizing impact on marine ecosystems
  3. Managing materials, waste and resource use
  4. Operating in line with environmental regulations and standards
  5. Working with customers, suppliers and contractors to reduce environmental impacts

Pollution & Discharges

Operating offshore involves fuels, machinery, coatings and waste. If not managed properly, this can lead to pollution of air and sea.

We work systematically to prevent and reduce pollution from our vessels by following strict requirements, applying clear procedures and focusing on avoiding unintended releases to the environment — both in our own operations and where we are linked to activities in the value chain

Air emissions
Managing emissions to air through fuel efficiency and operational measures
Discharges to sea
Handling bilge water, sewage, greywater and other discharges in line with regulatory requirements
Microplastics
Managing the risk of unintentional microplastic releases due to degradation of coatings during operations and responsible shipyard practices.
Chemicals and substances
Managing the use of chemicals and substances of concern
Operational controls
Procedures and training to prevent spills and unintended releases

Biodiversity & Marine Environment

Offshore vessels and underwater activities can affect marine life — for example through vessel movements, underwater noise or the spread of species between areas. Impacts can arise both from our own operations and through activities we are connected to in the value chain.

We aim to reduce disturbance to marine ecosystems by considering environmental factors when planning operations, designing and operating vessels, and through dialogue with customers and suppliers.

Invasive species and biofouling
Managing hull condition and equipment to reduce transfer of species
Underwater noise and disturbance
Managing operational activities to reduce impact on marine life
Sensitive areas and habitats
Planning and conducting operations with consideration for protected areas and sensitive marine environments

Resource Use & Circularity

Eco-efficient operations also mean using resources responsibly throughout the vessel lifecycle. We work to improve efficiency in the use of energy, materials and consumables, and to manage waste in a safe and responsible way.

Waste management
Handling and sorting waste in line with regulatory requirements
Material use
Managing consumption of materials, including maintenance-related inputs
Lifecycle perspective
Considering durability, maintenance and lifetime of vessels and equipment
