OOCL's policy of conserving natural resources applies at every level of our work. We are seeking to reduce the amount of resources being used and waste being generated, therefore the practice of Reduce, Recycle, and Re-use (3R) is meticulously followed on board our vessels and containers, as well as on land.
Vessel and Container
- Incinerating waste onboard by using certified equipment, in accordance with MARPOL's requirements;
- Operating homogenisers and oil purifiers to minimise the development of sludge;
- Minimising cylinder oil consumption through our alpha lubricator system; and
- Introducing the use of eco-friendly bamboo floors instead of the traditional hardwood ones for our container, which is a potential way to minimise deforestation.
Office
- Facilitating the initiative of “Green Office" by encouraging the employees to comply with our environmental guidelines, which encourages the use of energy saving office equipment and lists out various ways to save, reuse and recycle resources, such as maintaining the office temperature should be around 25 degrees Celsius; and
- Creating a “paperless office" environment by eliminating the use of unnecessary paper documents.
