The systematic identification and assessment of sources of marine pollution is carried out through the
continuous monitoring, evaluation and assessment of all the records and reports associated with
environmental issues: waste management, bilge water management, ballast water management, oil and
hydrocarbon products, anti-fouling paint certificates. Incident reports and investigations, including near
misses are studied. The data is carefully analysed to determine trends to ensure marine pollution are kept to
an absolute minimum.

Vessels activities with fuel consumption or use of refrigerant contribute to atmospheric pollution by
generating substances in the atmosphere such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulphur
Oxides (SOx), Carbon Monoxide (CO) or Particulate Matter (PM). This pollution
should
be monitored and
reduced as much as possible:
On the operational side for energy efficient ship operation, the Ship Energy Efficient Management Plan
(SEEMP) has been developed to assist the shipping industry in achieving cost-effective efficiency
improvements in their operations.
The Company
shall
develop and use these tools to become as fuel and energy efficient as possible in order
to reduce the atmospheric pollution from our operations.
Fuel consumption management is a high priority in order to comply with international environmental
requirements and to support an ambitious CO2 reduction plan. The work starts in the ship design phase, with
the energy efficient construction of the vessels’ hull, propulsion systems and engines.
The second “IMO GHG Study 2009” indicated that a 20% reduction on a tonne per mile basis by mainly
operational measures is possible and would be cost effective. The SEEMP
shall
assist the shipping industry
in achieving this potential.
In 2013, the Company measured the carbon footprint of its activities, using the method of the “Bilan
Carbone© from ADEME”:

This method will serve the goal in minimising CO
2
emissions on board vessels, but also at the Head
Office.
x
The measurement of GHG concerns direct and indirect emissions that is to say the following will be
taken into account:
o
Consumption of fuel and all other kind of energy (electricity, etc.);
o
Leakage of refrigerant from refrigerated units;
o
Personnel travelling;
o
Purchases and transport of goods;
o
Waste processing;
o
Capital asset of buildings;
o
Etc.

The impacts on soil from Bourbon activities include:
- The discharge of vessels garbage, waste and sludge on shore. Countries where BOURBON
operates do not always have reception facilities in order to handle them.
- The production of garbage, waste or sludge, the use of chemicals and emissions of pollutant during
drydock operations.
