Here are some critical compliance checks we perform: 📋 Is the ECDIS type-approved according to Res A 817(19), as amended by MSC resolutions? 🗺️ Are back-up arrangements in place with independent ECDIS, position-fixing systems, or a complete set of up-to-date paper charts? 🖥️ Are all ENCs and RNCs up-to-date and ready for use? 👨✈️ Have all officers completed IMO model course 1.27 for ECDIS training? ⚠️ Is there a risk assessment for ECDIS operation, with results integrated into onboard procedures? These are just a few of the many vital checks we conduct to ensure navigation safety on tankers. 🌟 Plus, one of our incentive providers, Alphatron Marine offer discounts on navigation products and services for Green Award Foundation certified ships! 🏅🚢 #MaritimeSafety #BridgeNavigation #GreenAward #AlphatronMarine #SustainableShipping #30YearsOfImpact

The excursion started with a guided boat tour to explore the Port of Rotterdam, led by Green Award Foundation Executive Director, Jan Fransen and Certification Manager, Keita Shinohara. Even more exciting, the boat we boarded, Rederij Thalassa, recently became a Green Award Binnenvaart gold certificate holder 🏅 after a thorough renovation of its engine room. We made a stop at RDM Rotterdam, a hotspot for innovation in the Rotterdam port area and there, we gave a presentation on what makes our hearts beat at Green Award Foundation 💚 and exchanged learning and experiences. As we continue to reflect on ways to make the maritime industry safer, cleaner, and more sustainable on a special day like today, this is just a reminder that the future is today.
