Tristar Eships, the marine logistics branch of the Dubai-based Tristar Group, has chosen Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services to help reduce its carbon footprint.
Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services will first be applied to two tankers in the company’s fleet and is designed to significantly reduce their carbon emissions.
Tim Coffin, CEO of Tristar Eships, said: “We are committed to finding efficient solutions to reduce our emissions footprint. Wärtsilä’s Decarbonisation Services is an important tool in helping us achieve this goal. Partnering with Wärtsilä will increase our depth of knowledge and understanding of the technologies required to raise efficiency levels, and therefore reduce emissions.”
