       Navigator Holdings公司是全球最大轻便型（Handysize）液化气体运输船队的所有者和运营商。该公司现启动了首次碳中和（carbon-neutral）航行。

 

       具体来说，就是该公司旗下一艘20550 cbm（立方米）的“Navigator Capricorn”号半冷藏气体运输船，于2021年1月18日为美国中流公司Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminal L.P.装载运输液化石油气（Liquefied Petroleum Gas，简称LPG）。

 

       这次航行始发地为美国宾夕法尼亚州的Marcus Hook（乙烷）出口码头，目的地为摩洛哥，期间船舶将装载货物横跨大西洋。

 

       Navigator与挪威气候和技术公司CHOOOSE合作，并承诺通过支持一个联合国（UN）认证通过的可再生能源项目来抵消1068公吨二氧化碳排放。

 

       “IslaSol Island Solar Power太阳能发电”项目旨在为菲律宾大约20万户家庭全年提供日间电力，同时致力于减少该地区的碳排放。

 

       Navigator首席商务官Oeyvind Lindeman表示：“减少碳排放是我们公司的一个关键战略目标，我们将遵循这一使命，联手全球共同创造一个可持续的明天。”

 

       他还称：“通过创新公司管理方式和资产运营方式，我们不断努力减少碳排放。为了实现真正的碳中和之旅，‘抵消’是我们选择使用的几种有效手段之一。”

Navigator Holdings embarks on its first carbon-neutral voyage

 

Navigator Holdings Ltd, owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of Handysize liquefied gas carriers, has launched the company’s first carbon-neutral voyage. 

 

Specifically, Navigator Capricorn, a 20,550cbm semi-refrigerated gas carrier, loaded LPG for U.S. midstream company Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminal L.P. on 18th January 2021. 

 

The voyage commenced at the Marcus Hook export terminal located in Pennsylvania, U.S., and will see cargo transported across the Atlantic to Morocco.

 

In collaboration with the Norwegian climate and technology company CHOOOSE, Navigator has committed to offset 1,068 metric tonnes of CO2 by supporting a UN-verified renewable energy project. 

 

The IslaSol Island Solar Power project in the Philippines is intended to bring daytime power to approximately 200,000 homes throughout the year, whilst focusing on reducing emissions in the region.

 

“Carbon reduction is a key strategic objective for our company and follows our mission of connecting the world today, creating a sustainable tomorrow,” said Oeyvind Lindeman, Chief Commercial Officer at Navigator.

 

“We continuously strive to reduce our carbon emissions through innovations in the way we manage our company and in the way we operate our assets. Offsetting is one of several tools we choose to use in order to deliver a true carbon-neutral voyage.”
