Full compliance

We live by the
rules and act
responsibly

We firmly believe in the responsible and sustainable use of fishery resources and will not take on board IUU fish (Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported fishing). Our vessels are licensed to operate in all fishing grounds and to receive fish from fishing vessels at sea in line with most recent rules and regulations.

As Friend of the sea, we care about the oceans and will always comply with environmental regulations, because we also consider ourselves a long-term partner of the oceans.

Sustainable fishing

There is a worldwide increased focus on sustainable fishing and combatting illegal fishing, resulting in more strict rules and regulations for loading fish directly from fishing vessels to reefer ships. Greensea will always comply with environmental regulations and work according to the most recent and strict EU regulations with regards to fishing, hygiene and sanitary issues. To ensure sustainable fishing, Greensea complies fully with Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMO) policies. Moreover, our ships are flagged with countries which are contracting or cooperating parties to RFMOs, ensuring strict agreements on sustainable fishing are made and kept.

Friend of the sea

Greensea was the first specialized reefer company to obtain the certification Friend of the Sea – the international sustainable shipping standard launched in 2016. Friend of the Sea is an international certification program for products from sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. Over 500 companies in more than 50 countries have relied on Friend of the Sea to assess the sustainability of their seafood origins. Audits, based on best and most updated available scientific data, are run by accredited independent certification bodies.

360 Quality Label

We are committed to meeting the 360 Quality standards. Greensea is member of the 360 Quality association – a quality label for the worldwide specialized reefer sector assessing ships, companies, terminals and other service providers according to the 360Q Code. The association’s goal is to ship products from port to port without the quality of the product being compromised. To do this, it uses reefer ships. Every ship and every terminal with a 360 Quality Label is checked according to 360 Quality’s checklists. These checkpoints are of utmost importance to maintain qualitative vessels and terminals.

360 Quality has a specific approach to quality: fast, dedicated and direct.

Fast

keeping short transit and terminal times in order to get perishables in the stores faster.

Dedicated

building and sharing know-how about the perishables, the ships, the ports, the legislation and much more. DIRECT: keeping direct contact with the cargo and checking product quality regularly to assure quality.
