Norway's Simon Mokster Shipping is aiming to exceed the IMO's decarbonisation targets by 2030.
The offshore vessel owner said it will cut the emission of greenhouse gases by 40% over the next 10 years, in line with IMO, while working towards zero emissions in 2050.
But to ensure this is achieved, "regardless of fleet size", the company said it had an additional energy efficiency ambition.
"By 2030, we shall achieve a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions per sailed distance," the company pledged.
"This is an ambitious but necessary step considering our goal of being a Norwegian shipping company with an infinite perspective."
Mokster's efforts are being made in line with the Norwegian oil and gas sector's decarbonisation drive.
Green demands
The Stavanger company added: "Our customers, lenders, the government and the general public set ever increasing demands for sustainable development, the environment and emission of climate gases."
Mokster added that it aims to develop green innovations at the same time as increasing its revenue.
"In 2020 and beyond, we will therefore commit to increase our focus and implement the UN sustainable development goals in our strategy work," the company said.
"So far, the most important contribution is all the work being done by our fleet every day by more efficient sailing and collaboration with our customers."
Mokster has made several large investments to reduce emissions, the latest of which is the conversion of its 4,300-dwt platform supply vessel (PSV) Stril Barents (built 2015) to an LNG-battery hybrid.
It worked with Italian oil major ENI to install the kit on the vessels, which was supporting the Goliat field in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea.
During demanding offshore operations such as dynamic positioning, there may be greater variations in energy requirements, the company said.
The battery will act as an energy buffer that supplies the required energy immediately and thus much faster than an internal combustion engine, it added.
The work was announced in 2018 and completed last summer.
Mokster has 17 ships, including other PSVs and anchor-handling tug supply (AHTS) units.
