Reducing our environmental impact

Concordia Maritime works systematically to continuously reduce the adverse impacts of operations on the environment. The Company has a major focus on reducing emissions into the sea and air, increasing fuel efficiency and maintaining a high overall operational quality.

Concordia Maritime’s own environmental impacts are emissions of carbon dioxide, sulphur and nitrogen oxides and harmful particles associated with bunker fuel consumption. In addition, there is also a potential risk of spreading organisms as a result of the discharge of ballast water. In both areas, work is carried out to reduce or completely eliminate the environmental impact.
