Green Award and MeteoGroup Join Forces

The Green Award Foundation and MeteoGroup Maritime have signed an agreement to work together as an incentive for high safety and environmental standards on board ships and to eliminate substandard shipping.

Launched in 1994, Green Award certifies ships that are extra clean and extra safe. Green Award now has over forty partners in twelve countries who offer financial and non-financial benefits to certified ships thereby rewarding high safety and environmental standards in shipping. The scheme makes above standard ship operations more attractive economically and is open to oil tankers and dry bulk carriers from 20,000 DWT and up, LNG carriers and inland navigation vessels.
 

Benefits from the Partnership

Through the partnership, Green Award’s clients can benefit from SPOS, MeteoGroup Maritime’s weather routing service for shipping. Under the new agreement, MeteoGroup will reward any ship that has passed the Green Award certification process with a reduction in annual rates.
