Infrashipping AG was the first company worldwide in 2014 to receive independent verification and certification by Lloyds Register of Shipping for its business strategy in accordance with the "IMO Strategic Concept of a Sustainable Shipping Industry". Infrashipping AG is incorporating key 'imperatives' and 'goals', as defined by IMO in the company's management systems across its operations. Infrashipping AG has established a task force to implement specific actions, plans, processes, and to develop systems addressing sustainability. Priority has been given to the promotion of a safety culture and environmental stewardship, as well as to the education, training and support of seafarers. Additionally, the strategy encompasses a drive to reduce the energy required to operate and explore and evaluate the potential of alternative marine fuels – particularly LNG.
The quality of the Infrashipping AG Ship Management services and its excellent 'HSSE' (health, safety, security and environmental) operating record was highlighted when Infrashipping AG was selected as “Tanker Company of the Year 2009” at the annual Lloyd’s List Greek Shipping Awards. The company adopted and implemented additional standards during 2009, including business continuity management principles, and received the Lloyd’s Register certification for its Integrated Management System, both contributing factors to its winning this award.
