Performance Efficiency

Shipping is the backbone of the global economy. It is by far the most efficient mode of freight transport and transports approximately 80% of the world’s trade volume, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). However, as the industry’s development continues, it generates increasing carbon emissions from shipping.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set an ambition to reduce the carbon intensity of emissions from shipping by at least 40% by 2030, and 70% by 2050, compared with 2008 levels. To achieve this, the shipping industry needs to unite in taking urgent action.

Today, there is an opportunity to create a new paradigm through a set of manageable, practical solutions that could break the deadlock and accelerate decarbonisation. Making this happen requires collaboration within the shipping industry itself and across the broader shipping ecosystem.

At Eastaway India we are committed to a policy of conserving the environment, adopting the latest environmental standards and going beyond what is required by regulations and legislation. As a professional shipping company we are committed towards implementing and achieving Environmental Standards and we work actively to:

• Reduce the use and disposal of hazardous material
• Reduce garbage and improve waste management
• Improve heat recovery systems
• Ensure environmentally sound ship recycling
• Decrease emissions through efficient energy management

We can improve the operation and efficiency of shipping such as by slowing speeds to save fuel, using kites and sails when at sea and connecting to electricity grids when in port.

Since fuel consumption is a primary driver of operational cost, its relation to emissions impacts the environment. Lower fuel consumption comes with lower emissions. Hence, training seafarers can help owners reduce fuel costs and extend the lifetime of onboard machinery.

Engine manufacturers are urging vessel owners to train crews to be more fuel efficient in daily operations and to teach specialist engineers how to maintain machinery more effectively.

We guide and train our crew on how to minimize emissions by balancing engine operations on a daily basis.

As technology becomes more sophisticated, engineers will need to be more multi-functional, hence we ensure persistent training and teach new skills to our team of seafarers to enhance vessel performance and improve fuel efficiency of all our fleets.
