Our best achievements

Coastal Crown Image

Coastal Crown

First commercial workboat equipped with both a Tier III engine and a hybrid battery. This workboat is the most sustainable and fuel-efficient multi-purpose vessel on the DP2 market, with a 73% reduction in NOx emissions and a 20% reduction in fuel and CO2 emissions.

Coastal Liberty

The vessel was converted to hydrogen in 2023 and it has undergone several adjustments since 2012 to make it more efficient and environmentally friendly in order to meet the requirements of the UNESCO World Heritage Site on which it has been working since 2012 in Mittelplate.

0 plastic

Zero Plastic

Plastic is the scourge of the oceans. Since 2019, Jifmar has implemented a 0-plastic policy on its ships and in its offices. The implementation of this policy has been made possible by the implementation of fountains and water filtration systems to completely eliminate the consumption of plastic bottles. Jifmar is going even further by asking its regular suppliers to change the packaging of products delivered to remove (as far as possible) all plastic. Through the purchase orders, suppliers are informed and made aware of the company’s commitment to avoid plastic. To date, 67% of our ships and 80% of our offices and bases are equipped with filtration systems or water fountains.

0 paper

Zero paper

Since the end of 2022, Jifmar has introduced a new policy in which we are trying to move towards 0 paper use. The main action has been to digitise the SMS (Safety Management System), where the protocols generated a lot of paper. The installation of digital tablets on our ships has made it possible to avoid printing large quantities of paper. To date, 90% of our ships are equipped and we estimate that we have saved the equivalent of 23.6 kg of CO2, it represents the electricity consumed by lighting a room for more than a year.

MARPOL

Waste management - MARPOL

Since 2019, waste sorting is in order on all our operational bases, as well as at the company’s headquarters. On board our ships, waste management has been a principle applied for several years, in compliance with the MARPOL* recommendations. Selective sorting is carried out by means of 5 streams and is accompanied by the keeping of a waste register. On land, non-hazardous waste is sorted or recycled internally (e.g. wood or metal). For hazardous waste, Jifmar has called on a nationally approved service provider to monitor the end of life of products.

We keep our promises

The first sustainability-linked loan in the maritime sector

In 2022, Jifmar obtained the first impact loan in the maritime sector. The sustainability-linked loan is a financing solution that rewards responsible commitments by paying back 0.15% of the interest. This repayment is split between the company that has met its commitments and the environmental association of its choice. Jifmar used it to finance the JIF Mairi. For this loan, our commitments were to achieve a 3% reduction in CO2 emissions over one year, as well as the absence of hydrocarbon pollution at sea. In 2023, we achieved our goal and one part of our paying back interests has been paid to the Sea Cleaners, an environmental association to protect oceans. In 2024, Jifmar has chosen to distribute its interests at the TARA foundation, France’s first charitable foundation dedicated to the Ocean in France.

Acta Marine Acquisition: use of the structured ESG loan

As part of the acquisition of Acta Marine’s Workboat division, Jifmar has used an ESG structured loan. ESG structured loans include specific conditions linked to the borrower’s ESG performance and may have interest rates differentiated according to the borrower’s ESG performance.

 

Within this framework, Jifmar has until June 2024 to define the performance indicators.

 

This REDUCTION clearly demonstrates Jifmar’s investment IN CO EMISSIONS in sustainability, as companies with strong ESG performance could benefit from more favourable terms, while those with poorer performance could face higher costs or
