For putting Sustainability at the forefront of its business operations, Sembcorp Marine received the Sustainability Award recently at Seatrade Maritime Awards Asia, an annual event celebrating the best achievements in Asia’s maritime industry, the company said in its release.
The Award lauds Sembcorp Marine’s steadfast commitment to Sustainability, which has delivered impactful outcomes through the Group’s increasingly greener focus on its products, solutions and operations, technology-enabled manpower and innovation development, and employee-led contributions to the community.
Last year, some $530 million of Sembcorp Marine’s new orders related to greener solutions, including scrubber and ballast water management system retrofits, as well as gas and renewable energy projects. The Group aims to achieve 30 percent of its total income from sustainable products by 2030.
At Sembcorp Marine’s flagship Tuas Boulevard Yard, the Group replaced over 5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of grid-supplied electricity with clean energy harnessed from its solar-roof. This amount of solar electricity – enough to power about 1,100 four-room flats for one full year – also helped Sembcorp Marine avoid over 2,100 tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking 660 cars off the road for a year.
Sembcorp Marine will progressively scale up the solar power output at Tuas Boulevard Yard.
