Lloyds List Environmental Award for Evergreen

Evergreen Line was chosen out of five shipping companies in the competition. Its steady commitment to environmental awareness has been revealed in the extent of cooperation it offered to the Cambridge University in the UK and to the National Central University in Taiwan in the Pacific Greenhouse Gases Measurement (PGGM) project which actually involved 9 Evergreen containerships. Data on levels of greenhouse gases were collected from these ships for use by the scientists to study the change of greenhouse gas emissions.

Evergreen Group’s 10 S-class Greenships, delivered from 2005 through 2008, effectively met all international regulations regarding environmental protection. Their design had features that were environmental friendly. The design included double-skinned hulls, protected locations for fuel tanks to minimize the risk of oil leakage, ballast water treatment plant and cold-ironing power systems that cut down emissions in ports.

The Lloyd’s List Global Awards have been presented annually since 1999, to reward outstanding performance and service innovation; to highlight operating safety and social responsibility as well as to recognise the importance of education and training.
