GLOBAL container carrier
APL, a unit of Singapore-based Neptune Orient Lines (NOL), has received the
United States' Coast Guard's highest award for excellence in marine environmental
protection.
The container carrier took
home the Osprey award - the highest level of recognition within the Rear
Admiral William M Benkert Award, considered the premier environmental award in
the US maritime industry, conferred biennially.
"We are very proud to
earn this top accolade, which is reserved for the most significant
environmental achievements," said Kevin Krick, director for environmental
affairs in APL, who received the award from US Coast Guard Commandant Admiral
Robert Papp at the American Petroleum Institute Tanker Conference.
"APL's commitment to
sustainable global trade is evidenced through our investments in green
technology. We hope that our award win will serve as an industry benchmark and
encourage others to similarly strive for environmental improvements."
The Benkert Award recognises
maritime businesses and corporations with outstanding accomplishments that
extend far beyond compliance with industrial and regulatory standards. The
Osprey is rarely presented, and is given as the highest level of distinction
when an organisation clearly exceeds all review criteria expectations.
