Bremenports awards Danish Terntank for sustainability policy
Of all the shipping companies that called at the ports of Bremen in 2018, Terntank from Denmark has the cleanest fleet. In recognition of these efforts, bremenports managing director presented the award for the “most eco-friendly fleet” to representatives of the shipping company at the “Sustainable Shipping” conference.
Howe: “Terntank is one step ahead of the legislator and is making continuous and demonstrably successful efforts to improve the environmental performance of its fleet.” The shipping company achieved an excellent score average of 82.4 ESI points (environmental ship index). It began to implement a “ship energy dfficiency management Plan” as early as 2011.
The aim is to reduce fuel consumption and consequently ship emissions. In June 2016, Terntank added several LNG-powered vessels to its fleet in order to meet the special demands placed on shipping services in the North Sea and the Baltic. (fd)
