Ecoslops, the specialist in producing marine fuel from refined marine oil residues, has signed a ship incentive agreement with the Green Award Foundation.
Ecoslops will provide a 25% discount to all Green Award certified ships, reducing the cost for ship owners and ensuring sustainable regeneration into valuable marine fuels.
“Ecoslops is committed to increasing sustainability within the shipping industry, and is delighted to support the Green Award,” said Vincent Favier, CEO of Ecoslops.
He added: “The incentive we are offering provides a significant cost reduction to Green Award holders and also ensures that the disposal of their slops is efficient, sustainable and of benefit to the environment within local port communities, as well as creating a sustainable cycle for reintroducing regenerated marine fuels back into the supply chain.”
The incentive began on 28 April 2016 and is applicable for all hydrocarbon waste delivered to Ecoslops by Green Award certified vessels.
Ecoslops’ technology helps to reduce the costs associated with slops disposal for shipping companies, and ensures efficiencies throughout the process. The environmentally conscious approach is in line with the Green Award principles.
Green Award independently audits and certifies ships in accordance with its own requirements regarding safety, quality and the environment.
Ecoslops’ first industrial scale treatment unit, with an annual capacity of up to 30,000 tonnes is located in the Port of Sinès, Portugal.
