At Fairwind Maritime, we conduct our business with high ethical standards and in compliance with relevant laws.

Environmental Policy

We believe that to be successful over the long term, creation of value for Society and our Stakeholders, based on the principle of sustainable activities and processes is paramount. We act today to secure our future. We go beyond compliance, and ensure that we use resources efficiently, mitigate all environmental risks in our operations, and lower vessel emissions.

The company is fully aware of the effects caused on the environment by sea transport (Ships), and shore-based facilities (Offices). Shipping is the most carbon-efficient way of moving goods. It serves more than 75 per cent of global trade by carrying large quantities of cargo cost effectively, cleanly and safely. We acknowledge that this same mode of transport is a key contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. We believe members of the maritime industry must do their part to lower greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency in our operations.
