ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT POLICY

Armona Denizcilik AS recognizes the significant impact that sea transport can have on the environment and is fully committed to environmental protection and pollution prevention both ashore and at sea. Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001:2015, and we strive to:

  • Fully embrace the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) and eliminate accidents as the primary defense against pollution.
  • Comply with marine environment protection requirements established under ISO 14001, national, international, port state, and mandated territorial laws.
  • Identify environmental risks and develop proactive measures to reduce impacts on the marine environment and the atmosphere, addressing sources of pollution such as incineration, noise, waste, garbage, sewage, fouling paints, spills of oil or noxious liquid substances, dangerous goods, ballast water (including microorganism transfer), refrigerants, halons, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), cargo vapor, and engine exhaust emissions.
  • Maintain a zero-spill, zero-pollution tolerance policy, setting realistic environmental targets and objectives to measure and monitor the performance of our environmental management system, driving continuous improvement.
  • Assess environmental and energy aspects and risks related to our activities, considering life-cycle assessment results, and implement required measures to minimize environmental impact and enhance energy efficiency.
  • Increase the competence and environmental awareness of our employees by training and motivating them to perform their duties in an environmentally friendly and compliant manner.
  • Adhere to a zero-tolerance approach to non-compliance with this policy, which results in termination of employment and potential criminal liability.
