Since the start of its operations in July 2021, its main objective has been to promote environmental commitment and awareness, adapting its ships and management systems to national and international regulatory requirements... to effectively address the environmental impact of its activity, the shipping company has implemented technical improvements on ships and has established an environmental management system.

As far as the year goes, Trasmed, the Grimaldi Group shipping company, has reduced sulphur emissions by 50% and CO2 emissions by 20%. The measures implemented by the shipping company have resulted in a significant reduction in the environmental impact of its maritime activity.

To address this issue efficiently, Trasmed has implemented measures that are divided into two key categories ranging from technical improvements on its ships to the implementation of a strong environmental management system.

One of the outstanding technical improvements has been the installation of 'Scrubbers' systems for the washing of exhaust gases, with the aim of significantly reducing sulphur emissions to the atmosphere. These systems operate through the incorporation of washing towers on board ships. With this implementation, Trasmed has not only been able to comply with the current regulations of the international MARPOL VI agreement, which sets an emission limit of 0.5%, but has further reduced this limit to 0.1%.

The company is working on other important measures to mitigate its environmental impact. One of these is the installation of Cold-Ironing systems, which allow ships to connect to the electricity network on the ground while in the port. This allows the auxiliary generators to remain off during the port operation, reducing emissions to 0% and contributing to a significant improvement in air quality.

Regular maintenance on main and auxiliary engines is another key practice for optimizing propulsion efficiency and, consequently, fuel optimization. These maintenance systems ensure optimal engine performance and help reduce fuel consumption. Also, the periodic polishing of the propeller blades is a crucial process that regularly performs the shipping to eliminate any accumulation of sediments, inlaid or other waste that may affect the optimal performance of the propeller.

For the year 2023, a significant 20% reduction in CO2 emissions has been achieved compared to the previous year. This reduction has been made possible by the company's optimization and savings actions.

The Department of Quality and Environment of the shipping company has found it necessary to establish and certify an Environmental Management System in accordance with international standard ISO 14001: 2015. This system ensures the proper control and management of the activities of the company, demonstrating its environmental responsibility.

To this end, an Energy Efficiency Plan has been established in close cooperation with all the departments of the company which applies to all the ships of the fleet and which aims to make the most of the energy resources available on board.

Aware that awareness and knowledge are fundamental to a positive change, certified familiarization and training courses have been conducted for all crew members in the deck and machine departments.

All these initiatives, mentioned above, reflect Transmed's continued commitment to responsible environmental management and the search for energy efficiency in its operations.
