SUSTAINABILITY
Our Approach
Chevron Tankers values put sustainability at the heart of our operations. New additions to our fleet offer improved fuel efficiencies and we strive to reduce our environmental footprint across every aspect of our business.
Health, Safety,
Environment & Quality
HSEQ are among the key pillars at Chevron Tankers. We go beyond mandated standards to deliver world-class health, safety, environmental and quality management across all operations.
GHG Reduction Targets
Crew Support
Chevron Tankers cares about our impact on society and the world around us. Our team of over 4,800 employees of different nationalities and backgrounds is our greatest asset.
We go beyond mandated standards to deliver top-tier health and safety training that protects and supports our people at sea and on shore.
The seafaring life brings unique stresses. We provide mental health support for issues related to stress, isolation and family separation through a partnership with the International Seafarers' Welfare and Assistance Network (ISWAN).
Chevron Tankers responsibly supports the honorable work of the Mission to Seafarers as they care for abandoned seafarers and their families around the world.
Policies
We believe that a healthy and safe workplace is the right and responsibility of every worker. Our policy sets out the standards we uphold to protect every member of our workforce.
Chevron Tankers commits to conducting its business with integrity and transparency. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bribery and corruption, dedicated to ethical, fair, and vigorous competition in line with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
We are committed to protecting the environment, reducing waste, decarbonizing logistics, and making a positive contribution to biodiversity across every ocean we sail.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct outlines our commitment to ethical, safe, and sustainable practices. It sets standards for business integrity, health and safety, environmental responsibility, and fair labour. All suppliers are expected to comply with these principles and applicable laws.
Education
We develop the nautical leaders of tomorrow through a number of education and training programmes designed to equip the next generation with the skills our industry demands.
Sustainable Fleet Management
Chevron Tankers' vessels are world-leading because we dedicate ourselves to pioneering efficient, clean and environmentally-friendly engine and hull technologies across our entire fleet.
Our modern VLCCs burn 40% less fuel than their predecessors, reducing emissions and positively impacting our carbon footprint across millions of voyage miles.
Special coatings including Seaquantum X200, Intersleek 1100SR and Intersleek 757 ensure maximum hull efficiency and are environmentally responsible.
Internal tank coatings such as Interline 9001 and Marine Line 784 maximise flexibility and allow easy cleaning, maintenance and cargo changeover.
New design elements including Becker Mewis Ducts and Boss Coupling System have increased operating efficiency by 3% and 4.5% on many of our ships.
Marine Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems reduce NOx emissions, while clean fuel and scrubbing technologies enable us to meet IMO 2020 SO₂ 0.5% emission rules.
Chevron Tankers meets all thirteen key standards of the OCIMF2 TMSA 33 as well as the US Coast Guard's exclusive QUALSHIP 21 status.
Safety
As a safe and responsible company, Chevron Tankers ensures its management and affiliates recognise their responsibility to uphold the highest standards of safety across all areas of the business. We are acutely conscious of our duty to protect our workforce, crew, vessels, client assets, the environment, and our communities.
Staff receive regular safety training, all vessels operate under international safety standards, and client assets are insured via a recognised international insurance firm.
- Complying with the latest international regulations relating to marine pollution
- Using effective ballast water management practices to prevent seawater contamination
- Using modern fuel-saving technologies in all vessels
- Using advanced coatings on all vessels to further reduce fuel consumption
- Always implementing precautionary measures across every voyage
Our crews are encouraged to use the seafarer "Stop Work" authority if they see an unsafe act — regardless of rank. No cargo, schedule, or commercial consideration overrides the right and duty to stop unsafe operations.
