We are pleased to announce that Transpetrol has joined Whale GuardiansTM, a non-profit organisation that is aiming to minimize and avoid collisions between vessels, whales and other marine mammals. Whale Guardians has developed a program, which provides recommended preferential routes for shipping approaches within 50 miles of ports. We will advise and train our shipboard crews on such routes, when approaching designated ports, obviously without in any way jeopardising the safety of the vessel and its crew or other vessels. As a shipping company we fully support protecting “life below water”, one of the 17 United Nations sustainable goals. For more information on Whale Guardians, please see: www.whaleguardians.org
