Environment

The shipping industry operates within a comprehensive global regulatory network of international, national, local, flag state and classification society compliance requirements. We seek to meet, and when possible, exceed compliance with all applicable rules and regulations governing the marine industry. In fact, some of the Company's environmental equipment and procedures require more than is mandated by MARPOL, a conscious decision taken by ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО. Training is provided to ensure that sea and technical shoreside staff understand all Company environmental policies and procedures, regulatory requirements, the impact of vessels on the environment and the Company's commitment to environmental stewardship.

As a responsible corporate citizen, we acknowledge the worldwide concern about atmospheric pollution. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations on the sea, land and air. ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО's environmental risk management program, policies and procedures are centered on waste and water management, reducing energy consumption, recycling and meeting or exceeding compliance with regulatory requirements.

Environmental Leadership

ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО is a proud member of the Blue Sky Maritime Coalition, a collection of industry members that recognize the need to address global climate change and collaborate to identify, evaluate, encourage and engage in commercial and technical pathways to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Through our participation in the coalition, we seek to aid in the transition of the maritime industry in the United States and Canada toward net-zero emissions.

As part of the advocacy aspect of the Blue Sky Maritime Coalition, ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО has contributed in authoring “A Perspective on IMO Efficiency Measures” which argues for the development of common sense measures to reduce carbon emissions. This paper has been accepted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for discussion.

Emergency Preparedness

Through emergency response drills and exercises, ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО strives to ensure both sea and shore staff are properly trained and prepared in environmental incident reporting procedures, activation of the Company's emergency response plans and compliance with all U.S. and international laws and regulations. The Company conducts quarterly fleet drills and annual fleet management office drills in compliance with U.S. Coast Guard and IMO requirements.

Training

Seafarer training and education is an important component of ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО’s safety and environmental program. Training leads to increased competence and retention, which, in turn, can improve the performance of our seafarers, increase productivity and reduce accidents, incidents and casualties.

Our officers and crew receive training through accredited training facilities. Officer conferences are held bi-annually, providing an effective means for training on Company policies and procedures as well as sharing best practices and areas for improvement. This approach enables ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО mariners to enhance their skills and to pursue a long-term career with the Company. We endeavor to provide comprehensive education and training programs so that our sea staff can meet statutory and ТК CARGO SHIPMENT, ТОО-mandatory training requirements and have the opportunity to advance their careers.
