GÖTEBORG, Sweden, Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
Concordia Maritime has joined World Ocean Council (WOC) – a
global organisation consisting of shipping-related industries and
stakeholders, which together aim to take responsibility for our
oceans. The organisation's practical work is based on the exchange
of information between the participating stakeholders for better
mutual understanding. WOC's goal is to influence political
discussions and decision-making relating to the marine
environment.
Concordia Maritime and Stena Sonangol Suezmax Pool have now
signed on as members together with Stena Bulk, which had joined the
organisation earlier. All the companies have long worked to promote
more environmentally friendly and sustainable shipping and their
fleets are among the safest and most modern in the world. In a
market that encompasses the transportation of crude oil, refined
petroleum products and chemicals, an unfailing commitment to safety
and environmental consideration is a must.
"Concordia Maritime very much looks forward to what its
membership of the World Ocean Council will lead to. This
international platform allows us and other responsible members of
the maritime trade to partner with like-minded companies from other
sectors. Sustainable business and oceans go hand in hand and
require a global strategy", says Kim
Ullman, President of Concordia Maritime.
The World Ocean Council encourages the business community to
assume collective responsibility for the oceans, and does not
believe that a single company or industry can alone solve problems
related to the Arctic, marine debris and ocean noise from vessels.
Accordingly, the organization has engaged a vast array of sectors
including shipping, oil and gas, fisheries, tourism, renewable
energy (wind, wave, tidal), ports, classification societies, cable
companies, legal and financial services, as well as representatives
from insurance companies.
