The need for decarbonisation and the protection of the marine environment are always top of the agenda for Foremost Group.
It is with these important goals in mind, and the firm belief that protecting the environment is both good business and our responsibility, that Foremost Group has long made the choice to operate some of the world’s largest and most eco-friendly bulkers.
Foremost Group has always stayed ahead of the curve when ordering new ships and invested proactively in eco-friendly designs and technologies throughout our 57-year history.
This article is one of more than three dozen contributions from shipping industry stakeholders about their outlook for decarbonisation efforts in the year ahead. We asked shipowners, managers, financial professionals, technology providers and more about their own efforts to address greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 and what they hope to happen in the industry this year.
However, to be successful in the fight to cut shipping’s carbon footprint, it is vital that all stakeholders consider and — wherever possible — incorporate environmentally friendly policies and approaches.
No effort is too small when considering ship designs for future needs, technologies that can improve fuel efficiency or the use of alternative fuels — and each can make a difference.
Perhaps more than most, the shipping community recognises just how interconnected our global economy is and how reliant we are on goods and materials from around the world. Without shipping, we would not be able to build our 21st-century economy at the speed and scale required. As such a critical player in the global economy, ocean shipping can have a profound impact and set an example across the supply chain.
Foremost Group does everything it can to be a responsible steward of the environment. We are firmly committed to continuing those efforts and are working closely with our partners, whether they be our charterers or shipyards or makers and suppliers, to make a positive difference. Our hope is our actions demonstrate that it is both possible and good business to provide exceptional service with an approach that best protects the global marine environment.
Looking to 2022, we look forward to a year of continued collaboration, partnership and dialogue about how we can all do our part to protect this world that has given each of us so much.
