Hanjin’s “Eco Management” programme

They built a management system which enables it easily to monitor fuel consumption and analyse the economy of shipping services ships by route; and it selected some 20 tasks in such areas shipping services, efficiency and fuel supply, where it focuses its attention. In March of this year, it organised a committee to examine fuel reduction and through a range of efforts – such as broad practice of BSP (Bunker Saving Program), rationalization of route, reduction of sea speed, etc – some 105,000 tonnes of fuel oil and 330,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions have been reduced in the first half of the year. In addition, Hanjin fitted new technology to its new buildings, including AMP (Alternative Maritime Power) equipment and eco-electric control engines, with higher fuel combustion efficiency. This will eliminate air pollution emissions while at anchor. It is also using silicon paints, to reduce hull resistance, which also reduces fuel. In this way, Hanjin Shipping’s Eco Management is reducing CO2 emissions reflecting the company’s on-going commitment to solving environmental problems and to underline its position as a leading eco-management global company.
