Our Commitment to a Sustainable Future: Driving Green Maritime Operations At AGMS, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a core principle woven into every aspect of our ship management services. We are dedicated to minimizing the environmental footprint of our managed fleet and contributing to a greener, more responsible maritime industry. As proactive environmental stewards, we continuously invest in cutting-edge technologies and implement robust environmental management practices to ensure our vessels operate sustainably and comply with the most stringent global standards. Smart Tools for Real-time Emissions Monitoring: Central to our sustainability efforts is the deployment of advanced, smart tools for real-time emissions monitoring across our fleet. Through our strategic partners, such as Arka (if “Arka” refers to your specific smart tool provider for emissions monitoring, please confirm, otherwise, you can generalize or state “leading technology partners”), we gain unparalleled visibility into our vessels’ environmental performance. These systems enable us to: • Continuously Track Emissions: Monitor key pollutants like CO2, SOx, and NOx in real-time, providing accurate data on our environmental impact. • Optimize Performance: Analyze emissions data to identify inefficiencies, allowing for immediate adjustments to operational parameters and machinery settings for reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions.1 • Predictive Environmental Management: Leverage data analytics to anticipate potential compliance issues and proactively implement corrective measures, ensuring continuous adherence to environmental regulations.2 • Transparent Reporting: Generate detailed and accurate emissions reports, crucial for demonstrating compliance and enhancing our environmental performance transparency to stakeholders. Innovating with Energy Saving Devices (ESDs): We are committed to equipping our fleet with the latest advancements in energy efficiency. Through close collaboration with our partners, we ensure the installation of state-of-the-art Energy Saving Devices (ESDs) on all our vessels. These technologies are instrumental in reducing our carbon footprint and improving overall vessel efficiency: • Optimized Propulsion: ESDs enhance hydrodynamic performance, reducing resistance and improving the efficiency of propellers and rudders, leading to significant fuel savings.3 • Waste Heat Recovery: We implement systems that capture and utilize waste heat from engines, converting it into usable energy and further reducing fuel consumption. • Smart Coatings & Designs: Our vessels benefit from advanced hull coatings that minimize drag and optimized hull designs that contribute to lower energy requirements. • Fuel Efficiency: The combined impact of these technologies directly translates to reduced fuel consumption, which in turn leads to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Adherence to Global Standards and Beyond: As managers, we are unwavering in our commitment to environmental compliance. Our comprehensive environmental management system ensures that all our fleet vessels: • Comply with IMO Regulations: We rigorously adhere to all International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates, including the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI), Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), and MARPOL Annex VI regulations, ensuring our vessels meet increasingly strict emission targets.4 • Meet RightShip Requirements: We proactively meet and exceed RightShip’s stringent environmental criteria, including their GHG Rating methodology, which evaluates a vessel’s design efficiency and operational performance. This commitment enhances our vessels’ marketability and demonstrates our dedication to responsible shipping. • Cultivating Sustainable Management: Our approach goes beyond mere compliance. We foster a culture of environmental responsibility throughout our organization, from shore-based teams to onboard crew. Continuous training, awareness programs, and a focus on best practices ensure that every decision contributes to our sustainable management goals. At AGMS, we firmly believe that a sustainable future for shipping is achievable through continuous innovation, technological adoption, and a deep-rooted commitment to environmental stewardship. We are proud to lead by example, managing our fleet with the highest standards of environmental performance and contributing to a healthier planet.
Our fleet management philosophy integrates key environmental technologies and performance-based compliance tools. We actively deploy exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) to reduce sulphur oxide emissions, and our vessels are equipped with Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS) to prevent cross-contamination of marine ecosystems. We continuously monitor Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) ratings to improve propulsion performance and fuel efficiency across the fleet.
Beyond technology, we promote a culture of sustainability onboard and ashore—ensuring waste management, energy consumption, and voyage planning are optimized in line with MARPOL and ISO 14001 principles. At AGMS, sustainable shipping isn’t an initiative—it’s the way we operate. Together with our partners, we are steering toward a greener, cleaner maritime future.
