Nakilat ties up with ABS to boost decarbonisation strategy
LNG shipping operator Nakilat has teamed up with ABS to develop an industry-leading decarbonisation strategy for the former’s fleet of 69 LNG carriers and four Very Large LPG Gas Carriers, Nakilat said on Tuesday.
One of the world’s largest LNG shipping operators, Nakilat’s efforts come as part of its drive to become a global maritime sustainability leader, the company said.
The project will ultimately see Nakilat’s vessels receive the ABS Sustain notation, which demonstrates alignment with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and establishes a pathway for sustainability certification and reporting.
“Nakilat has rapidly grown over the years to be a leader in the global energy transportation sector. We recognise the important role we play in reducing our carbon footprint and are committed to carry out our operations in a sustainable manner,” Nakilat CEO Eng. Abdullah Al Sulaiti said in a statement.
“In addition to this partnership with ABS, we are also leading a working group with our joint venture partners to ensure our global fleet operations meet with IMO’s decarbonisation targets,” he added.
The Sustain notations were introduced with the ABS Guide for Sustainability Notations to help marine and offshore operators meet the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) requirements outlined in the SDGs.
“It is a privilege to be able to support Nakilat in achieving their goal of becoming a leader in maritime sustainability. ABS is proud to work with forward looking operators that are not only committed to finding a sustainable footing for the industry but to demonstrating how we can make significant strides towards realising that dream today,” said Georgios Plevrakis, ABS Director, Global Sustainability.
