Environment

The modern world has a growing demand for ocean transport. Although shipping is considered the most environment-friendly way of moving goods around the world, considerable challenges must be overcome to ensure that this form of transport takes even better account of environmental considerations.

 

As a company dedicated to ocean transport and logistics, WW’s aim is to reduce the impact of its cargo-carrying operations. Its vision is to improve operations continuously in seeking to achieve zero emissions, and thereby contribute to a cleaner global environment.

 

Key figures 2007:

  • 31.7% reduction in nitrogen oxides in 1999-2007, and 10.9% in 2006-07.
  • 53.5% reduction in sulphur oxides in 2000-07, and 19.25% in 2006-07.
  • 2.6% reduction in bunkers consumption from 2006-07.
