We are proud to announce our victory in the prestigious OSJ Annual Environmental Award 2024, presented by Riviera Maritime Media Ltd and The Offshore Support Journal Community.

The award recognizes VPS's role in initiating and coordinating the Maress Summer Campaign.

The Maress Summer Campaign exemplifies collaborative excellence, engaging eight vessel owners and 133 vessels in a concerted effort that resulted in savings of an impressive 10,000 tons of CO2 emissions. This remarkable feat underscores the commitment of vessel crews and the collective action taken by participating companies.

Malcolm Cooper, VPS CEO: 
"The amount of savings achieved by the vessels in this campaign is just staggering and inspirational. My congratulations to everyone that participated. For us in VPS it is a key part of our strategy to help the industry decarbonise by leveraging the unique data access that we as a company have on maritime fuels and emissions. All the vessels in this campaign are using our data-driven decarb software Maress, and creating collective action and results for our customers - such as in this campaign - is something that we will aspire to do more of".

VPS extends its gratitude to all participating companies and crews, including Solstad Offshore ASA, Simon Møkster Shipping AS, Boskalis Offshore Energy, Rem Offshore, Tidewater, Skansi Offshore, North Sea Shipping, and DOF. Together, they have demonstrated the potential for collaboration and innovation in addressing environmental challenges within the maritime industry.

VPS is looking forward to the 2024 version of the Maress Summer Campaign - and we hope that the number of participating vessels and total savings this year will be even larger than in the 2023 campaign!
