Care of the Environment

August 9, 2011

Evaluating, developing and implementing environmentally safe practices in pursuit of a healthy, green, sustainable future is critically important to the Maersk Line organization. This focus on constant care of the environment is a deeply ingrained core value from founder, Mr. A.P. Moller, and shapes all business practices.

To minimize the impact of business activities on the environment, Maersk Line carefully evaluates how it uses the earth's resources, optimizes operations and implements programs to ensure the proper handling of waste streams.

To maximize energy efficiency and reduce emissions Maersk Line has implemented fuel efficient technologies and operations, such as a waste heat recovery system to recycle vessel exhaust heat, and low-sulphur fuel and antifouling paints on vessel hulls.

Now and in the future, Maersk Line will continue to develop safe, efficient and environmentally clean practices for a healthy more sustainable planet.

In 2010 and 2011, Maersk Line was named an Inbound Logistics' Green Supply Chain Partner. The list is comprised of supply chain visionaries who are leading the green revolution.
