Sustainable fleet management
Bahri’s vessels are world-leading because we dedicate ourselves to pioneering efficient, clean and environmentally-friendly engine and hull technologies.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint
Our modern VLCCs burn 40% less fuel than their predecessors, reducing emissions and positively impacting the company’s carbon footprint.
Our Hulls
Special coatings like Seaquantum X200, Intersleek 1100SR and Intersleek 757 ensure maximum hull efficiency and are environmentally friendly.
Tank Coatings
Internal tank coatings such as Interline 9001 and Marine Line 784 maximize flexibility and allow easy cleaning and maintenance.
Meeting Stringent Standards
Bahri prides itself on meeting the thirteen key standards of the OCIMF2 TMSA 33 as well as the US Coast Guard’s exclusive QUALSHIP 21 status.
Operating Efficiency
New design elements including Becker Mewis Ducts and Boss Coupling System have increased operating efficiency by 3% and 4.5% on many of our ships.
Stop Work
Our crews are encouraged to use the seafarer “Stop Work” authority if they see an unsafe act.
Reducing Emissions
Marine Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems reduce our Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions while clean fuel and scrubbing technologies enable us to meet IMO4 2020 SO2 0.5% emission rules.
Responsible Targets
We are proud to have set a goal of at least a 20% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030, with a further target of a 70% reduction by 2040.
Safety
As a safe and responsible company, Bahri ensures its management and affiliates recognize their responsibility to uphold the highest standards of safety across all areas of the business.
We are acutely conscious of our duty to protect our workforce, crew, vessels, client assets, the environment, and our communities.
Protecting People and Assets
Staff receive regular safety training, all vessels operate under international safety standards, and client assets are insured via a recognized international insurance firm.
Protecting Nature
We promote the best environmental practices across the company by:
- complying with the latest international regulations and standards relating to marine pollution,
- using effective ballast water management practices to prevent seawater contamination,
- using modern fuel-saving technologies in all vessels,
- using advanced coatings on all vessels to further reduce fuel consumption,
- always implementing precautionary measures.
