For a third consecutive year, NYK was one of 10 shipping lines recognized with an Environmental Ship Index (ESI)* award by HAROPA, a joint initiative between the ports of Le Havre, Rouen, and Paris.
During the awards ceremony in Paris on December 3, 2015, Jerome de Ricqles, director of the NYK France Liner Division, received a trophy from Emmanuele Perron, president of the Supervisory Board of Grand Port Maritime du Havre (GPMH), and from Herve Martel, director of GPMH.
The award recognized the performance of shipping lines in the 2014 calendar year, but the ceremony had been postponed so that it could coincide with COP21, also known as the Paris Climate Conference.
The ESI was set up by the World Port Climate Initiative and identifies vessels managing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions through a reporting scheme that evaluates the amounts of nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide released.
Since 2012, HAROPA has recognized the top 10 shipping lines operating containerships or Ro-Ro vessels scoring more than 30 points per call in a complex calculation that includes vessel specifications, bunkering details, etc., and is validated using the official ESI website.
NYK will continue its efforts to contribute to the realization of a global environment and sustainable society based on the group???s ???More Than Shipping 2018??? medium-term management plan.

The NYK Group has completed its Sail On Safety winter safety campaign, which ran from December 1, 2015, through January 31, 2016.
Under the theme "Think, Act, and Be Safe," the campaign has been conducted annually by the entire NYK Group to prevent accidents that can be more frequent in turbulent seas during the winter season.
In this year???s campaign, 410 NYK Group executives and employees visited 242 vessels to exchange broad opinions with onboard crews about the prevention of accidents, collisions, and engine trouble in turbulent seas. Through this campaign, the visitors gained a greater understanding of the particular condition of each vessel and realized again the importance of smooth communication and mutual understanding between onboard crew and offshore staff for safe ship operations.
This was the 12th year of the campaign, and in total 3,877 NYK Group members have now made 2,416 visits to vessels.
The NYK Group will continue to strengthen its safety activities through collaboration between onboard crew and offshore staff to ensure that ???safety,??? which is the group???s most important mission, is maintained and NYK remains a trusted and reliable partner for customers.
