What if we preserve tomorrow?

This plan is based on our sustainability framework set out by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in combination with Oceanco’s sustainability themes.

As the foundation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the SDGs are considered the gold standard for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. From the full list of 17 SDGs, we selected the six most pertinent goals where we felt our actions could make the greatest impact. These include:

• SDG7 Affordable and clean energy
• SDG8 Decent work and economic growth
• SDG12 Responsible consumption and production
• SDG13 Climate action
• SDG14 Life below water
• SDG17 Partnerships for the goals

3. Process
And by the end of the decade, we intend to be 100% waste free or circular across the entire supply chain, through the conscious selection or creation of new materials to be used onboard.

4. People
Our brand is only as strong as our people. We are committed to providing Oceanco’s employees and partners with a supportive and encouraging environment in which to flourish; where intrapreneurship thrives through the sharing of ideas so we can achieve more together.

4. Population
And alongside championing various global initiatives that promote environmental stewardship, education and conservation, we want to foster a culture of collaborative innovation and learning that allows us to build a better future for generations to come.

Oceanco is renowned for asking bold questions to find new answers–new solutions–to create next-generation yachts. Working with like-minded partners, many of our past projects have offered a way to advance sustainability and efficiency in yachting. These have included Black Pearl, our LIFE Design concept formulated with Lateral Naval Architects and first put to use on Bravo Eugenia, and now Oceanco NXT.

Moving away from a conventional fossil fuel dependence towards alternative fuels and power sources is vital for a more sustainable future. Oceanco continues to work with various technical partners to find effective and reliable alternative fuel solutions to improve the sustainability of the yachting industry, including the inescapable topic of fuel cell technology. There are various alternative fuels which we are examining and studying; among others, these include ammonia, wind assist, compressed hydrogen, liquefied hydrogen and methanol.

Because all alternative fuels are less energy dense than current fossil fuels, more intelligent use of technical space is going to be necessary. Therefore the main way to reduce the volume of space attributed to alternative fuel storage will be to reduce how much fuel is needed in the first place. Which logically means we need to keep pushing forward with energy reduction. Our quest for ever-increasing efficiency has begun.
