The Trident Alliance, a coalition of ship owners a[ds_preview]nd operators working to ensure robust implementation of sulphur regulations, welcomes Cargill and Fjord Line as new members.
Cargill is one of the world‘s largest privately-owned companies, providing food, agricultural, risk management, financial, and industrial products and services around the globe. Cargill charters and operates a global fleet of 500 dry-bulk vessels and approximately 60 tankers.
»As part of the Trident Alliance, we are pleased to charter vessels that comply with maritime sulphur regulations to reduce our environmental impact and increase efficiency,« says Jan Dieleman, president of Cargill’s Ocean Transportation.
Fjord Line is a ferry and cargo shipping company with 600 employees who operate between Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The company operates completely within the European ECA zone, and today have two vessels running on LNG.
The Trident Alliance was founded in 2014, with a focus on improving enforcement of sulphur regulations in ECA zones. More than 1 year and 8 months after the introduction of the 0.1% sulphur limit in the North America and European ECA zones, the implementation and enforcement of the regulations remain patchy and more ship owners and operators are joining in the work for more robust enforcement of sulphur regulations, Trident said in a statement.
To Trident belong, among others, DFDS, Hamburg Sud, Hapag-Lloyd, Höegh Autoliners, Maersk Line, Scandlines, Scorpio, or Unifeeder.
