Cleaner Ocean’s mission is to address these critical issues through a comprehensive approach that combines vessel inspection, environmental compliance, and crew training. The Company’s goal is to ensure that marine vessels operate in a manner that minimizes their environmental footprint and adheres to international standards for pollution prevention.

One of the primary challenges facing the Maritime Industry is maintaining compliance with stringent environmental regulations. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) have set forth rigorous standards for emissions, ballast water management, and waste disposal to curb marine pollution and mitigate its impact. However, ensuring adherence to these regulations is complex due to factors such as fuel consumption, vessel speed settings, and operational pressures.

Cleaner Ocean will address these challenges by implementing robust inspection procedures and developing frameworks to manage key environmental indicators such as the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI). By focusing on these metrics, the Company will help vessels reduce their carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and manage ballast water to prevent the introduction of invasive species.

Furthermore, Cleaner Ocean will play a crucial role in educating and training ship crews to adhere to best practices for pollution prevention and safety. Proper training will empower crew members to manage waste effectively, handle hazardous materials safely, and implement pollution control measures. This will not only enhance operational efficiency but also foster a culture of environmental stewardship within the Maritime Industry. The importance of Cleaner Ocean’s efforts will extend beyond regulatory compliance. By improving vessel operations and reducing pollution, the Company will contribute to the preservation of marine ecosystems, the protection of marine life, and the overall health of the oceans.

In order to provide professional services, the Company will collaborate with a range of suppliers and partners to deliver comprehensive services that address the diverse needs of the Maritime Industry. These partnerships will cover:

• Incident Investigation: Specialized firms will assist in the thorough investigation of marine incidents, identifying root causes and developing actionable solutions to prevent future occurrences.

• Training of Ship Managers and Crews: Experts in maritime training will provide educational programs for ship managers and crews, focusing on effective waste management, pollution prevention, and regulatory compliance.

• Smart Maintenance Procedures: Collaborations with maintenance specialists will ensure the implementation of advanced procedures that enhance vessel performance and reduce environmental impact.
