Setting the stage for future
ocean transport
Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA acknowledges the environmental challenges faced by the maritime industry, and that only sustainable solutions to them are acceptable. We strive to deliver services
to our customers and stakeholders with minimal adverse effect to the environment.
«we strive to be ahead
of international and
environmental standards.»
We believe that those who understand, respond to and utilise the energy efficiency and environmental challenges will be the future winners, and
that new business opportunities will
emerge as a result of these challenges.
As a major participant in the transport sector we are actively working to
reduce our energy consumption and
decrease the environmental impact
of our activities. Continuous improvement and prevention of pollution are
inherent parts of our operation.
We are committed to complying with
not only national and international
environmental legislation and regulations, but also to self-imposed standards and requirements. We work actively to influence the development
of environmental legislation aimed at
fair, predictable and practicable rules
and regulations for a sustainable shipping industry.
We will support academia, innovation
and related research and development
initiatives targeted at further developing the shipping industry’s energy and
environmental advantages compared
to other transportation means.
To realise our vision we set objectives
and goals for our operating companies,
technical managers and other stakeholders. All our vessels and technical
WWASA Environmental report 2011
managers shall as a minimum comply
with international and environmental
standards as well as our self-imposed
requirements.
All employees and personnel working for or on behalf of our company are
expected to be familiar with our environmental policy. They should recognise, be committed to and contribute
actively to reducing the use of energy
and the environmental impact of our
activities.
Our efforts to limit emissions to air and
discharges to sea are based on the international regulations as in the IMO’s
Marpol 73/78 convention. In addition,
a number of special national requirements must be taken into account, like
the Emission Control Areas (ECA’s)
that impose stricter regulations for
emissions to air. These ECAs are already implemented in many regions,
and more are to follow.
This report will focus primarily on the
vessels owned and controlled by Wilh.
Wilhelmsen ASA. An environmental
account has been drawn up for these
vessels which evaluates the processes that influence emissions to air. The
most important emission figures are
compared with results from earlier
years, and these comparisons are used
to evaluate environmental targets for
the future.

Environmentally-friendly
vessel operation
We work continuously to reduce our environmental footprint. Use of new technology and new
design contribute to this, for both new and older vessels. On these pages we have listed some of
our recent and upcoming environmental initiatives on board.
Main engine
lubrication oil
consumption
Optimising engine
fuel performance
by fuel emulsion
Our newer vessels fitted
with electronically controlled engines require less
lubrication oil than our
older engines. In addition,
several of the older main
engines have been retrofitted with technology which
reduces the need for lubrication oil by more than half
of earlier consumption.
In 2011, two of our vessels,
M/V Tortugas and M/V
Taiko, were fitted with a
fuel emulsion system. The
system mixes 5% to 20%
fresh water into the fuel,
producing an on-the-spot,
water-in-oil emulsion. The
system aims a improving
fuel oil combustion and
reducing NOx emissions,
black carbon/soot emissions
and CO2 emissions.
WWASA Environmental report 2011
Hull and propeller
modifications
lower fuel
consumption
Several of our vessels
have been fitted with new
technology for improving
hull resistance and propeller efficiency. New energy
efficient design lower fuel
consumption compared
with older vessels. Three
of our older vessels have
been fitted with a propeller
boss cap fin which has led to
reduction of vibrations on
board which also improves
fuel efficiency.
Monitor vessel
fuel performance
During 2011 and 2012, all our
vessels will be fitted with
performance monitoring
systems from Marorka and
accurate mass fuel flow
meters. These systems will
continuously monitor vessel
fuel performance and guide
our crew with accurate
information, contributing
optimal sailing conditions.
Minimal hull
fouling
guaranteed
Ahead of new
environmental
regulations
Our vessels are coated
with advanced antifouling
systems to ensure minimal
water resistance. In addition,
we coated two of our vessels, M/V Tombarra and M/V
Tortugas, with high performance antifouling system
from Jotun, guaranteeing
that speed on these vessels
will not drop more than an
average of 1.5% over a five
year period. Hull cleanings
will not be necessary with
this system applied.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Logistics (WWL), owned
50% by WWASA, has been
a forerunner in burning
bunker fuel with low sulphur.
We has a self-imposed average of 1.5% sulphur in fuel
consumed, compared to
the world average of 2.8%.
More challenging regulations on sulphur emissions
are in the pipeline.
Future design
LNG as fuel
Partnerships
The future will require even
more efficient vessels and
new energy carriers. The
coming expansion of the
Panama Canal will generate
possibilities for new vessel
designs. In 2011, we continued the study from 2010
of post-panamax designs to
further explore possibilities
this expansion could have for
future vessels.
Future vessels will be dependent on cleaner energy
carriers. Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG) is one promising
new energy carrier for our
vessels. A study was carried
out during 2011 together
with TI Contracting,
aiming at reducing storage
space needed to be able to
operate on LNG fuel. The
study was partly funded by
the Norwegian Research
Council.
We work closely with our
partners, stakeholders, external companies and R&D
institutions to reduce fuel
consumption even further.
The outcome in 2011 has
been environmental competition for our crew, crew
environmental training and
conclusion of the Energy
Management in Practice
(EMIP) project, which was
supported by the Norwegian Research Council.
Regular vessel
hull cleaning
To ensure smooth and
efficient operation, all our
hulls are cleaned every 12
months and their propellers are polished every six
months. In addition, we
support a new promising
technology from the Norwegian company EcoSubsea
which will ensure efficient
and gentle hull cleaning. All
disposals from the hull cleaning process are collected
and safely treated on shore.

The operating companies in the
WWASA group controlled a total
of 133 vessels at the end of December 2011. The fleet, purposely built
to transport cars and high and
heavy cargo, represented a 22%
global market share measured in
car equivalent units (CEU’s). During 2011, the group took delivery of
ten new vessels, four on WWASA’s
account (MV Tønsberg, MV Tiger,
MV Tugela, and MV Titania). No
vessels were recycled in 2011.
Our account for 2011 incorporates 32 vessels owned and controlled by WWASA and operated by
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and
EUKOR Car Carriers. Despite a solid improvement in cargo volumes
transported in 2011 compared with
2010, and more sailings than the previous year, the fuel consumed per
cargo transported (g/tonne nm) decreased by 1.6%, showing that our
vessels operate more efficiently than
ever before. CO2 emissions increased
by 1.4%. The SOx emissions where in
line to 2010, with an average sulphur
content in fuel consumed on board
our vessels of 1.78%. NOx emission
increased slightly from 2010 to 2011
due to more sailings with older vessels emitting more NOx emissions
than newer vessels.

Great response in the energy
efficiency competition 2011
The Energy Efficiency competition was an internal competition for seafarers working on Wallenius
and Wilhelmsen owned vessels operating in the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics and EUKOR Car
Carriers fleets during 2011. The jury received a total of 106 entries from 21 vessels and one site
office during the ten week long competition period.
All seafarers were asked the following
question: What improvements will increase energy efficiency and reduce
fuel consumption?
In a single day, an average vessel consumes around 50 tonnes of fuel at a total cost of USD 34 000 and emitting
some 156 tonnes of CO2. The winners
shared the first prize pool of USD 31 839,
which equates to an average vessel’s
daily fuel consumption multiplied by
the average daily fuel price during the
competition period.
WWASA’s MV Trinidad won the operational improvement category with
their Ship’s Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP). SEEMP is an
on board management tool, providing
a plausible approach for monitoring
ship’s and also fleet energy efficiency
performance over a period of time.
MV Trinidad is managed by Wilhelmsen Lines Car Carriers in Southampton, UK.

of the Trinidad crew.
“We cannot overestimate the importance of energy in our group of companies. This applies not only to the
cost side of our business, but equally
important is the environmental footprint we leave behind. There are no
quick fixes to these issues.
Proud winners: M/V Trinidad engine crew and

We have to combine competence and
technology with passion and dedication. Driving down our costs and reducing our footprint is an ongoing job
that has to become part of our DNA –
where we all take an active role. This is
not the end of a competition, but rather the beginning of a journey that will
shape our future as well as that of others,” says Jan Eyvin Wang, president
and CEO of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA.

“By developing this plan, we can reduce fuel consumption and thereby carbon emissions, save money
and decrease the environmental
impacts from ships. Although the
yield of individual measures taken
by each ship may be small, the collective efforts across the entire WW
fleet will be quite significant,” says

Environmental award to
EUKOR Car Carriers
In 2011, EUKOR Car Carriers, owned 40% by Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA was
recognised by the Port of Rotterdam for its environmentally-friendly operations.
“A corner-stone in our strategy is to deliver high class services to our customers with a minimal environmental footprint. We diligently ensure that every
EUKOR-owned or controlled vessel
adheres to high environmental standards – in most cases considerably higher - than the current regulatory system
requires,” says Sjur Galtung, CEO and
president of EUKOR Car Carriers.
On the recognition awarded by the
Port of Rotterdam, Galtung notes: “We
are proud of having six of the 25 most
environmentally sustainable vessels
entering the the port in 2011, with our
car carrier Morning Carol being the
most environmentally adapted vessel calling the port last year. This motivates us to continue our systematic
work towards minimizing any harmful effects our operations might have
on the environment.”

«We diligently
ensure that every
EUKOR-owned or
controlled vessel

• Comply with MARPOL Regulations
• Review advanced ballast management system
• Sulfur content to less than 2.5%
• Saving oil and energy by applying
silicon paint systems for existing
vessels and newbuildings
• Fuel and oil saving research and
development
• Collect and discharge all plastic material and cans
Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA owns 40% of
EUKOR, which operates some 85 car
carriers transporting more than 4.2
million car equivalent units and equipment to 110 ports around the world.
Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA cooperates with other
leading ship owners and the Norwegian Shipowners Association towards reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on board vessels.
The working group on Environmentally Friendly Shipping, called WG 5, is the
result of six shipping companies’ wish to cooperate in the environmental
area in a coordinated s way. The group consists of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA,
Klaveness Maritime Logistics AS, BW Gas AS, Höegh Autoliners AS, Solvang
ASA, and Grieg Shipping AS. WWASA’s representatives in WG 5 are Filip
Svensson, vice president marine operations, and Petter Joenvik, shipping and
environment manager. The working group is coordinated by the Norwegian
Shipowners’ Association.
“Both the WG 5 members and The Norwegian Shipowners’ Association
believe that high bunker prices and rising cost of emissions will benefit all
initiatives that improve energy efficiency and lower bunker consumption for
the ship owners. Joining forces we achieve more than doing this research on
pour own,” says Filip Svensson.
Being established in February 2009, the group finished its first project
in May 2011. The project Energy Management in Practice (EMIP).The group
continues its work in EMIP 2, a project that seeks to reduce fuel consumption
and thus CO2 emissions through improving energy efficiency for ships in a
practical and cost effective way. The EMIP 2 project also cooperates with
the research institute MARINTEK, the Norwegian University for Science and
Technology (NTNU) and the equipment suppliers Marorka and Kongsberg
Maritime.
The EMIP 2 project is a UIP project (User controlled Innovation Project)
supported by the Research Council of Norway. The budget of the project is
MNOK 10.5 and the execution of the project is planned in the period September 2011 to September 2013.
The WG5 members agree that the working group will map the different
commercial frameworks including stakeholders, work processes, tools as well
as existing incentives within the group. A key element is to incorporate environmental dimensions in the agreement between ship owners and customers.
Such dimensions could be clauses in the contracts that takes into account future environmental legislations combined with incentive schemes for owners.
The top 25 vessels were selected based
on performance according to the Environmental Ship Index, an international standard for calculating emissions
from ships.
EUKOR Car Carriers has been found
to conform to the Environmental
Management System Standard ISO
14001 and the Quality Management
System Standard ISO 9001. Some of
the objectives for the company’s environmental aspirations include:

Castor - clean green
terminal of the future
It is the RoRo terminal and processing centre of the future powered by the sun and wind. The futuristic terminal runs on
renewable energy from the sun and the wind, and it’s compact
design reduces land use while maximising efficiency in the
supply chain.
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL),
owned 50% by Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA,
is extending its zero emissions ambition to port and land activities. Coupled with E/S Orcelle, the company’s
visionary zero emissions concept
cargo ship unveiled in 2005, the Castor Green Terminal embraces WWL’s
innovative vision of a more environmentally sound future for land and
sea logistics operations. The energy used to handle each unit of cargo
within the terminal complex will be
reduced by as much as 80%.
The location of the Castor Green Terminal will be based on detailed environmental studies of the local area, including potential impact on sea life,
birds and animals.
The terminal is intended to be sited close
to good rail and road links minimizing
total transport emissions.
WWL recognition in 2011
Wind turbines will provide the prime
source of power for the Castor Green
Terminal along with solar photovoltaic roof panels. The terminal will
also be self sufficient for all its water
needs – rain water collected from its
roofs will be stored in underground
tanks and then reclaimed.
The Castor Green Terminal will be
run on lean production techniques
focusing on the elimination of waste
and adding value during each stage
of the cargo’s movement through the
terminal.
Energy usage will be further minimised by using wind for cooling and
sunlight for heating and light.

Our next generation
cargo vessel
We launched in 2011 the Mark V class. MV Tønsberg, our
150 anniversary vessel, is designed for sustainability and is
the most sophisticated vessel ever built in the roll-on roll-off
segment.
«The Mark V class is the
most sophisticated roll-on
roll-off vessels ever built.»
The Mark V will use 15 to 20% less fuel
per transported unit than its predecessors, thanks to an optimised hull form
and a number of energy saving features
such as the streamlined rudder design and duck tail. In the engine room,
an advanced turbo generator produces electricity from the waste, exhaust
heat. Further, all fuel oil tanks are protected to minimise the risk of leakage
in case of grounding or collision.
The Mark V also complies with IMO
guidelines concerning ship recycling.
This “green passport” ensures that any
potentially hazardous materials used
in the construction of the ship, and its
equipment and systems, are carefully
handled and documented.
“We expect that Mark V will strengthen our position as the global market
leader within deep sea roll-on rolloff transport. The Mark V class is the
most sophisticated ro-ro vessels ever
built, with major innovative design criteria such as high ramp capacity, deck
strength and height, low fuel consumption, good transportation economy and
safe cargo handling”, says Jan Eyvin
Wang, president and CEO of Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA, representing the owner
of the vessel.
Four Mark V vessels will be delivered to
Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA and its partner
Wallenius Lines during 2011 and 2012.
All vessels will be operated by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics.
The Mark V class is the largest of its
kind, with a length of 265 metres offering a cargo volume of 138 000 cubic
metres over six fixed and three hoistable decks. The pioneering roll-on rolloff vessel is designed by the technical
department in Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA
and built at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Nagasaki, Japan.
