An environmental leader
At Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), we strive to stay ahead of environmental legislation. Our fleet, for example, met the 1.5 per cent low-sulphur fuel target on a global basis two years before the IMO low-sulphur fuel limit became mandatory for the Baltic- and North Sea regions.
Focus on high-impact areas
We focus our efforts on the business activities that have the greatest impact on the environment. We actively work to reduce the use of energy and natural resources per transported unit, and to optimise the fuel efficiency of our fleet. We are committed to embracing innovative technical solutions on both land, sea and into new ship designs to reduce our environmental footprint further. Reducing emissions and waste, by improving the use of resources and making recycling more efficient, are other important environmental activities. To make our operations more environmentally sound, we work with customers, suppliers, employees and port authorities to optimise environmental solutions.Ahead of environmental regulations
We strive to comply with forthcoming maritime environmental regulations ahead of schedule. That often means moving quickly to improve existing procedures and introduce proven new technology to address specific environmental issues. For example, the company achieved in 2004 its ambitious goal of only using fuel with a maximum sulphur content of 1.5 per cent for its global fleet. International standards for the use of low-sulphur fuels is currently set at 1.5 per cent for sulphur emissions control areas, such as the Baltic Sea, North Sea and English Chan¬nel, and 4.5 per cent world-wide. WWL also invests in new technology, such as more effective ballast water treatment systems, to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment.E/S Orcelle for an emission free future
