Paolo Bray, Director of Friend of the Sea, has launched an urgent request<\/strong> at the Green Maritime Forum<\/strong> 2018<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a> for shipping company\u2019s immediate action to prevent whales\u2019 ship strikes<\/strong> and implement sustainable practices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Merchant shipping <\/strong>is currently carrying more than 90% of international trade<\/strong>. Some shipping companies have already implemented several strict sustainability measures, but there are still many which don\u2019t even comply with the minimum requirements. A sustainability certification like Friend of the Sea highlights those operators engaged to protect the environment from those who are not yet there and should be motivated to change<\/p>\n

\n

Since 2015, Friend of the Sea has campaigned internationally for the shipping industry to consider measures to reduce whales\u2019 ship strikes. In Sri Lanka, Friend of the Sea has proposed a shifting of the lanes 15 miles south to reduce whales\u2019 mortality in the area due to ship strikes by an estimated 90%.<\/p>\n

While the World Shipping Council and other shipping organizations have shown some level of concern, the timing of their response is proving to be far too slow and the risk is that by the time some action is coordinated, whales\u2019 populations will already be on the path to extinction.<\/p>\n

\n

In Sri Lanka alone 1.000 yearly whales\u2019 strikes are estimated and several have resulted in whales\u2019 deaths. Whales are killed by ship strikes globally, but from our records the industry seems to be largely not reporting on the official IWC whales ship strikes database.<\/p>\n

\n

Friend of the Sea proposes simple and effective solutions<\/strong> to reduce whales\u2019 mortality from ship strikes, such as on board thermal cameras reporting whales\u2019 presence; strikes avoidance procedures and an online platform to share whales\u2019 presence data.<\/p>\n

\n

Two major European shipping companies, GreenSea<\/strong> and Seatrade<\/strong> have already been Friend of the Sea certified for environmentally and socially sustainable shipping and engagement to reduce risk of whales\u2019 ship strikes.<\/p>\n

\n

Friend of the Sea encourages the international shipping industry to submit applications<\/strong> for Friend of the Sea sustainable shipping certification by reaching out to Massimo Bardella<\/strong>, Project Development Manager, at outreach2@friendofthesea.org or +39 02 8359 5314.<\/p>\n
