While environmental topics continue to rise in the public consciousness, vessel owners and operators know it as a perennial issue. After all, reducing fuel consumption, waste and life-cycle costs are hardly new ideas in the marine industry. What is new are regulatory requirements and technologies that address environmental concerns and compel owners and operators to find ways to improve the efficiency and environmental performance of their vessels. Art Anderson Associates is an industry leader helping fleet owners like NOAA, Washington State Ferries and others identify, evaluate and implement strategies that reduce emissions and waste, minimize a fleet’s carbon footprint and improve the sustainability and life cycle of their investment.
