What has OOCL been doing to reduce C02 emissions from vessels?
OOCL is fully committed to reducing emissions from our vessels, by reducing fuel consumption and operating with fuel efficiency programs. – Compliant with ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards – Weather-routing systems providing the safest short routes, to assist vessel masters to use less fuel, thus reducing air emissions – Optimum trim to minimize fuel consumption – Endeavour to maintain minimum ballast (lighter vessel = less fuel) – Using fuel injections and exhaust valve timing control to optimize fuel efficiency – Shaft generator/ exhaust gas economizer for generating electricity and Shipboard Power Management, consuming less bunker for onboard usage – Manage vessel maintenance for fuel efficiency through periodic polishing of propeller, ship hull condition and monitoring engine performance What other environmental initiatives have been implemented on your vessels? – Minimising cylinder oil consumption through alpha lubricator system – Reduce consumption of garbage bags on board vessels
