Our impact on the environment is of paramount importance to us at Transmar. We work diligently to minimize the impact of our operations and to protect the sea and marine life from carbon emissions, garbage, waste, and hazardous chemicals. We strictly adhere to the regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), using low-sulfur-content fuel to effectively reduce our carbon footprint.
Transport and logistics emit 3.5 bn tonnes of CO₂ every year, with shipping alone accounting for around 3% of the total CO₂ emissions. Our focus is on decarbonizing the transport and logistics sector to help achieve the ambitious net zero target by 2040. To do so, we need to shift to alternative fuels, such as biofuels, hydrogen, ammonia, and electricity. Technological innovation, supportive policies, and collaboration across the value chain are also essential to make zero-emission oceangoing vessels commercially available and encourage the adoption of low- and zero-emission fuels and technologies.
We heavily rely on innovative technology and energy solutions to optimize our operations and decarbonize our activities. In pursuit of our net-zero target, we have established goals to progressively reduce our carbon intensity by implementing various energy efficiency measures. As a result, our newest vessel boasts lower CO2 emissions compared to similar vessels in the MENA region.
