About us
SEAaT is a cross-industry, unique, pro-active and self funding group, whose mission is to encourage and facilitate efficient reduction of harmful emissions to air from shipping. It promotes viable market based incentive systems, the use of abatement technologies, and the adoption of emissions reducing operational measures.
SEAaT was formed in 2002 to raise awareness and acceptance of solutions for emissions reductions that are sustainable, cost effective and achievable. The vision of the organisation and its members is to be regarded as important contributors towards zero harmful emissions to air from the shipping industry. Our founding sponsors are shipping and oil companies committed to exploring and implementing cost effective methods of reducing emissions. Our members represent the broader shipping community, and are ship owners and ship operators as well as national ship owner’s associations.
SEAaT believes that regulations designed to reduce emissions to air from shipping should be performance orientated and not prescriptive. Additionally, environmental performance improvement should be based on technical and operational solutions enhanced by commercial incentives within a transparent regulatory framework.
As the only trade association in the Maritime Industry solely focused on the reduction of emissions from shipping, SEAaT aims to fulfil its agreed mission and belief statements by working with other likeminded trade associations to influence regulatory bodies.
