Strategic Marine is achieving the United Nations’ goal to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Working with UK-manufacturer Wave International, all Strategic Marine’s StratCat 27 crew transfer vessels are fitted with Wavestream System 3 bilge filters, which ensure that no oil, diesel, microplastics or microfibres are emitted from the vessel’s bilges. Whilst these would be obligatory on vessels of 400 GT and above, Strategic Marine sees the benefit of these anti-pollution systems to protect the environment, and has been fitting the Wavestream System 3 on vessels such as the StratCat 27 CTV as standard over the last 13 years.
Many of Strategic Marine’s StratCat 27 CTVs are used to support wind farms. The company has recently made its first delivery of StratCat 27s to Poland and reports a growing market in the Asia region. With the increase in the size and location of Marine Protected Area territories, Strategic Marine says having craft already fitted with the required environment protection products is a benefit for its customers.
Ryan Seah, General Manager for Special Projects and Sustainability at Singapore-based Strategic Marine says, “Adopting and including the highest standard of clean and green technologies, ahead of legislation is part of our overall sustainability drive which can potentially future-proof our products. Whilst the UN Sustainable Development Goals give us a road map, we’re always looking deliver the very best we can for our customers and the environment.”
