🌱 Sustainability & ESG at AVIN Fleet

The AVIN Fleet is not only a showcase of modern tanker operations but also a living proof that shipping can evolve responsibly. As one of Greece’s most established tanker operators, AVIN International Ltd has placed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles at the core of its strategy, ensuring that every voyage contributes to a cleaner, safer, and fairer global maritime industry.

🌍 Why Sustainability Matters in Shipping

Shipping is responsible for moving more than 90% of global trade, and tankers are a vital part of the world’s energy supply chain. But this comes with challenges:

• ⚠️ Carbon emissions affecting climate change

• 🌊 Marine pollution risks from oil and chemicals

• 🛑 Regulatory pressure from IMO 2030 and 2050 targets

• 👥 Social responsibility towards seafarers and communities

AVIN recognizes that the future of global shipping cannot be secured without a sustainable transformation.

♻️ Environmental Responsibility

AVIN International invests continuously in green initiatives that reduce the environmental footprint of the fleet.

• ⚡ Eco-design newbuilds: New tankers like KRITI ENERGY and KRITI FUTURE feature optimized hull shapes, fuel-efficient engines, and state-of-the-art systems.

• 🛢️ Low-sulfur fuel & scrubbers: Ensuring compliance with IMO 2020 sulfur cap while reducing harmful emissions.

• 🌍 Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS): Protecting marine ecosystems by eliminating invasive species.

• 🔋 Research into alternative fuels: Exploring LNG, biofuels, methanol, and hydrogen readiness.

• 🌱 Emission reduction strategies: Real-time monitoring and voyage optimization to cut CO₂ per ton-mile.

AVIN’s environmental vision is clear: to operate a fleet that grows while reducing its impact on the oceans.
