3. Development of in-house software to track ship's carbon emissions accurately;
4. Fitment of devices on board to accurately measure various parameters like main engine power and fuel meters to allow precise calculation of carbon emission;
5. Strategic development for decarbonization, sea-going voyage optimization, fuel savings and ship's Hull optimization;
6. Reduction of plastic waste; and
7. Progress installing drinking water purification systems onboard their ships to reduce plastic waste at sea.

With on-going energy conservation program, the company is able to save 1 MT of fuel per day while sailing per ship. This is expected to bring savings to their owners in the range of 100,000 to 125,000 USD per ship per year. Protection of environment & energy conservation is what the company wants to offer its owners and charterers in times to come.
