Our Sustainable Journey

In today’s world, where environmental consciousness and corporate responsibility are at the forefront of business priorities, maritime companies are increasingly embracing sustainable practices to navigate towards a greener future. KST Maritime stands as a beacon of this progressive movement, spearheading Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and sustainability goals within the maritime industry.

At KST Maritime, our commitment to sustainability is ingrained in our corporate ethos and operational practices. We understand the profound impact that maritime activities can have on the environment, and we strive to minimize our ecological footprint while maximizing positive contributions to society. With this vision in mind, we have set forth comprehensive CSR and sustainability goals that guide our actions and initiatives.

Environmental Stewardship

Central to our CSR agenda is environmental stewardship. We recognize the urgent need to preserve and protect our oceans and marine ecosystems. To this end, we have implemented a series of initiatives aimed at reducing emissions, minimizing pollution, and conserving marine biodiversity. Key highlights of our environmental efforts include:

  1. Emission Reduction: We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from our fleet through the reduction of fuel consumptions, optimizing vessel routes, and exploring alternative fuels such as LNG (liquefied natural gas) and biofuels.

  2. Anti-fouling Coatings: Environmentally friendly anti-fouling coatings are used to minimize the release of harmful substances into the water. Compliance with international regulations governing the use of anti-fouling paints ensures adherence to environmentally sustainable practices.

  3. Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to and proactive compliance with international regulations, including the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) global sulphur cap to drive industry-wide efforts toward GHG reduction.

  4. Responsible Waste Management: Implementing responsible waste management practices on board our vessels. KST Maritime ensures that all waste is collected, segregated, and disposed of in accordance with international regulations to a shore facility for processing. This prevents pollution and protects marine life from the harmful effects of waste.
