1 Scope
The purpose of this section is to present the company vessel and office environmental
performance. In the report some of the more significant aspects are recorded for the latest period
and compared with previous data.
The report is compiled to include environmental elements in accordance to Global Reporting
Initiative 2013 (GRI – G4)
2 Fuel consumption and air emissions
The main consumers of fuel oil and lube oil on board are the main and auxiliary engines producing
propulsion and electric/hydraulic energy. Boilers may also in some instances be significant
consumers.
Fuel consumption as follows is reported for the UMS bulk fleet.

The specific energy consumption from our vessels compared with other means of transport is
shown in the table below.

3 Cylinder oil
The vessels have for some time been in a supervised program for controlled reduction of specific
cylinder oil consumption. For most vessels noticeable savings have been achieved. The graph
gives litres of cylinder oil relative tonnes of fuel.

4 Environmental impact from office operation: 2011 - 2013
The office operation consumes energy for heating, lighting and cooling purposes in addition to
other office equipment (office machines/computers etc.). The consumed energy is virtually only
electric power. An oil fired boiler is provided as backup, and tested at regular intervals for
contingency purposes. The raw materials consumed are mainly paper and tap water. Office
equipment and utensils contribute to a lesser degree.

Electrical power regular
7/11
Electrical power occasional
Total electric power consumption 2013 is increased by 8,8 % from 2012. This is believed caused
by the very cold spring in Norway during most of Q2-2013. The total electric power
consumption is also increased due to 13% additional office area, which is rented by AS Nymo
from September 2013.

Total paper usage in 2013 is on the same level as in 2012, but down 6,5 % compared to 2011,
and reduced by 18 % from 2010. This is a result of several actions; one being double sided
copying aimed to reduce paper usage and secondly increased use of electronic media/own website as alternative to paper brochures etc.

Water consumption has increased by 38,3 % in 2013 compared to 2012. This is caused by the
unusual hot and dry summer/autumn in 2013 compared to the year before and in an attempt to
maintain the grounds thorough watering.

Reporting of releases to air is limited to the effect of employees travel activities, where CO2
emissions are accounted for, and the use of the oil fired boiler. This boiler has only been test
fired in the last years. Office staff is recommended not to use air transport for business in the
Oslo area and encouraged to use the public long distance bus and or train transportation offered.
The total release of CO2 is decreased by 12,5 % in 2013 compared to 2012. A significant portion
of the total CO2 releases are caused by short distance air flights linked to the increased overall
activity of the company, including the company reentering the offshore supply vessel market,
contracting a new PSV and cooperation with an external investors.

The total releases to land increased by about 53 % in 2013 compared to 2012. This is caused by a
major review of the main office archive material in 2013 and removal of files of no historic value
and or outdated documents . The waste of food is decreased by 23,5% in 2013

6 Environment - Targets and Improvement Programs 2013
Vessels:
1. Bunker consumption (Bulk/PSV). The bunker consumption has been monitored and
recorded in 2013 as has been the case in previous years. Consumption has been compared
to previous results. However as most of the vessels are on TC, no specific target has been
established.
2. Hull resistance 1 (Bulk). A group has during 2012 investigated the cost and gains of
improved ship bottom paint. It has been decided to apply a high efficient type antifouling
on a number of ships. This has been continued during 2013. The new type of antifouling is
expected to have a positive environmental effect in terms of reduced fuel consumption and
10/11
subsequently less emission to air. (First indication are promising)
3. Hull resistance 2 (Bulk). An evaluation is presently on-going to consider power (Torque
meter) versus speed in order to follow-up and compare hull underwater condition and
treatments.
4. Cylinder oil scrapedown (Bulk). A program is on-going with ExxonMobile to reduce the
consumption of cylinder lub oil. This is done by monitoring the level of wear particles in
the oil and optimizing the feed rate accordingly. The goal is to include new buildings in the
program after the run-in period.
5. Autopilot adjustment.(Bulk/PSV) A program to monitor use/(effect) of autopilot
adjustment has been run during 2013 where the Technical Advisers will follow up progress
during their stay on board a vessel.
6. Ozone depleting gases.(Fleet) The goal in 2013 is to get rid of all Ozone Depleting Gases
(R-22) on board the vessels. Only one vessel left (Fermita).
7. Chemicals (Fleet). Work will continue to reduce the number of chemicals in use on board
the fleet, and to replace certain chemicals with more environmental friendly substances.
Office:
1. Punctured windows and outer door from canteen were replaced during 2012. Further
replacement of punctured windows and two outer doors at ground floor will be replaced in
2013. The target of reduced consumption of electric power is by 3% in 2013, compared to
the consumption in 2012.
2. Reduce the paper consumption in office operation by increased use of electronic
media/own web-site.
3. Reduce release to land – waste of food – by 5 % in 2013 compared to 2012.
4. Monitoring existing parameters for environmental impacts from office operation, and
initiate necessary action against unwanted increase in pollution.
7 Oil spill 2013
There is not reported any oil spill to sea during 2013.
