Reducing Environmental Impact: A Responsibility We Embrace

Environment

Decarbonization Levers

Optimize Fleet Operations (Short-Term)

Enhancing Data Transparency

In collaboration with DNV, Hafnia uses the ‘Emissions Connect’ platform which allows the monitoring and tracking of verified emissions data to monitor performance and support continuous improvement.

Optimize Technical Performance (Short to Mid Term)

Modern and Dynamic Fleet

We optimize vessel design and specifications for newbuilds, maintain a modern fleet through proactive renewal, and implement energy-saving technologies to improve fuel efficiency across our fleet. These measures support continuous improvements in efficiency and performance over time.

Develop and Implement Clean Solutions (Mid to Long Term)

Future Fuels and Energy Transport

We are preparing for alternative fuels by expanding our dual-fuel capabilities and marine fuel supply, including renewables through Seascale Energy, our joint venture with Cargill. In parallel, we are exploring new transport opportunities linked to alternative fuels and lower-carbon solutions.

Decarbonizing shipping will require multiple solutions and a series of transitional steps.
Our dual-fuel vessels and exploration of “dual-fuel” ready vessels represent a pragmatic approach to the maritime energy transition, combining improved operational efficiency while keeping the fleet ready for cleaner fuels of the future.

The ocean underpins both global trade and marine life.

Hafnia is committed to reducing waste and pollution, complying with international environmental regulations, and minimizing impacts on marine biodiversity through responsible operational practices that help protect ecosystems where we operate.

Our EMS reduces the impact to the environment via continuous improvement to environmental management. It applies to all Hafnia employees across vessels and complies with the latest ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard. It is built upon our environmental policy, included as part of our safety management
system.

Our Actions

­ Spill Prevention and Response

We conduct training on MARPOL requirements and spill-prevention practices, supported by monthly oil spill drills to maintain readiness. We also maintain a Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plan that defines crew responsibilities and the use of pollution-prevention equipment during high-risk operations.

 

­ Responsible Ship Recycling

We are committed to disposing of ships in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Recycling of our vessels shall be performed at a reputable and certified recycling facility and demolition facility, holding a valid Class issued Statement of Compliance with the Hong Kong Convention 2009 or the EU Regulation 1257/2013.

­ Reducing Onboard Waste and Plastic

Our long-term approach focuses on reducing waste and plastic use across our operations. In line with MARPOL and local regulations, all vessels follow waste management procedures covering storage, handling and disposal.

­ Protecting Marine Biodiversity

We work to minimize our impact on marine ecosystems through compliance with international regulations, ballast water management, avoiding Marine Protected Areas where practicable, and monitoring the potential effects of underwater radiated noise.
