Fednav Ltd has been awarded the Port of Vancouver’s 2019 Blue Circle Award for the EcoAction programme, showcasing the company’s continuous efforts in maintaining sustainable and high efficiency stewardship practices.
The programme rewards day-to-day operation above and beyond regulatory requirements by allowing financial incentives for vessels that have implemented emission reduction measures and other environmental enactment. Fednav holds the distinction of being one of the 18 recipients for 2019, alongside others including CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Co.
This recent recognition comes on the heels of the announcement of 12 of the company's vessels earning the US Coast Guard E-zero designation, part of the QUALSHIP 21 programme certification, confirming the company’s exceptional level of environmental compliance. Less than 20% of all foreign-flagged vessels that operate in US waters meet the strict eligibility requirements of this programme, with only 106 vessels receiving this designation.
