Through industrial organisations and flag state administrations Odfjell has actively contributed towards three specific industrial environmental initiatives, namely
• Reduction of inadvertent cargo vapour emission from ships.
• Means to stop any illegitimate practice of draining shore cargo lines back to ships on completion of loading or unloading.
• Enhanced safety onboard by expanding current inert gas requirement to apply to all tanks loaded with low flash cargoes, independent of tank size, age of ship or type of the cargo.
Odfjell will actively pursuit these initiatives and promote them to become industrial standard practice, either through future legislative changes or through new recognised industrial practices and guidelines
