SPT Awarded the Environmental Achievement Award from the Chamber of Shipping America

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:03:29 GMT

Four SPT Lightering Support Vessels were awarded the Environmental Achievement Award from the Chamber of Shipping America. The award was received by the SPT Victory, SPT Vigilance, SPT Defender and SPT Pearl and demonstrates an excellent record of environmental stewardship by the vessels and SPT.

The Environmental Achievement Award is given to vessels that operate for a two-year period without:

• Reportable spills (a report of a “potential spill” is not disqualifying)

• U.S. Coast Guard citations for violations of MARPOL

• Port State citations for violations of MARPOL

• Violations of state/local pollution regulations

SPT’s Lightering Support Vessels shared the honor with two of the company’s tankers; SPT Explorer and SPT Navigator. Both vessels are managed by Teekay.

SPT continues to strive for environmental improvement. In continuing the company’s dedication to environmental quality, SPT will implement ISO 14000 by the end of 2012.
