Seal of Environmental Approval for Teekay
On November 4, 2015, Teekay’s ship-to-ship side of the business was presented with the Environmental Achievement Award by the Chamber of Shipping of America. The award recognized six vessels who have operated a total of 31 years with environmental excellence. Teekay also took home this award in 2012 for 85 of its vessels and again in 2013 – Teekay’s safest year in history in terms of lost time injuries (LTI)! To be eligible for the award, a vessel must have at least a two-year period of the following:- No reportable spills (a report of a “potential spill” is not disqualifying)
- No U.S. Coast Guard citations for violations of MARPOL
- No port state citations for violations of MARPOL
- No violations of state/local pollution regulations
