APL creates new environmental website for shipping industry

APL has introduced a new website that addresses how the world's fourth-largest container shipping line is meeting the environmental challenges of world trade.

The new site highlights initiatives the carrier is undertaking on board vessels and at its terminals to reduce air emissions and protect water quality.

"Moving our customers' cargo and supporting global trade are our key objectives," said Eng Aik Meng, president of APL. "Equally important is the need to operate responsibly in managing our environmental footprint at sea and on land."

According to the website, http://www.apl.com/environment/, APL has implemented numerous measures to minimise the impact of trade on the environment.
