Eimskipafelag slands: Environmental statement for Q3 2021
Eimskip recently published its environmental report in the third quarter. This is the 7th time that the company publishes a quarterly environmental statement, which is very valuable when assessing the environmental risk in its operations.
Overall, there are improvements in most areas and this reflects the constant work of Eimskip’s employees in environmental projects.
The proportion of recycled waste will increase from 23% in the third quarter of 2020 to 31% in the third quarter of 2021 (QoQ). The proportion of sorted waste is 78% in this quarter.
Printed paper decreased by 8% compared to the same quarter last year. Reducing printed paper means saving 180 trees per year compared to printed paper in 2015. There are several projects in the pipeline to further reduce printed paper.
Eimskip’s goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% per unit transported by 2030. This goal is linked to the United Nations goal of sustainable climate change development. Most of Eimskip’s emissions come from ships. When greenhouse gas emissions per cargo transport unit (excluding US-related consumption between Reykjavík and Nuuk) for the 3rd quarter of 2021 are examined, the coefficient is the same as in the 3rd quarter of 2020. This is a very good result as Eimskip’s navigation system is larger now than it is. was. last year from nine vessels in the 3rd quarter of 2020 to 10 vessels in 2021. Eimskip’s main KPI has been adapted to a swap agreement with the Royal Arctic Line (RAL) due to a monopoly on transport.
Eimskip is constantly focusing on the future and part of that journey is to analyze future energy potential for ships, trucks and other equipment. Technology is evolving rapidly, both in terms of design and infrastructure for new environmental energy sources. Many questions remain unanswered, but progress is visible.
