ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION POLICY

The Company acknowledges the risks that exist to the surrounding environment. The company has prepared extensive instructions in compliance with both national and international requirements, as well as with standards established by the Classification Society and required by charterers, to minimize this latent risk.

These instructions, which refer to various anti-pollution measures and training manuals, were created in order to contribute to:

• The prevention of pollution and other damage to the environment, in particular, the marine environment
• Cleaning of the marine environment
• The identification of contamination risks
• To the maintenance of environmental safety standards on board
• Preparedness for emergency situations related to pollution
• Build a reputation as an eco-friendly company
• Regular inspections of equipment and reviews of procedures to ensure compliance with up-to-date safety management
• Good cooperation with maritime authorities

The Company ensures regular "on-the-job" training, as well as shore-based courses for personnel, to ensure they are qualified to perform their respective jobs.

The Company strives to correctly handle the transported products and has developed and distributed to the vessels detailed instructions describing the proper procedures.

We practice a "blame free" culture, and our goal is to achieve the highest degree of environmental awareness, with 0 (zero) pollution. We urge staff to report any environmental deficiencies which would provide the company with the ability to develop and raise the level of environmental awareness.

Recognizing the exposure to risk, the Company is always committed to have a complete insurance that covers all the requirements of the authorities, classification society and charterers.

All instructions will be updated periodically so that it always complies with the demands and requirements of authorities, the Classification Society and the Charterers.
