About us
Shipping Emissions Abatement and Trading (SEAaT) is a cross-industry, unique, proactive and self-funding group, whose mission is to encourage and facilitate efficient reduction of harmful emissions to air from shipping. SEAaT is an industry group formed in 2002 to raise awareness and acceptance of solutions for emissions reductions that are sustainable, cost effective and achievable. Its founding sponsors are shipping companies committed to exploring and implementing cost effective methods of reducing emissions. The members represent ship owners, operators. SEAaT’s members include: Carnival Corporation & plc, BP Shipping, P&O Ferries Limited, Shell Shipping, Stena Line, and Tsakos Energy Navigation. 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.
