Reviews & Ratings for the Crimson-Delight

In a significant move towards environmental sustainability, FedNav Ltd., a prominent Canadian shipping company, is equipping 12 of its new saltwater vessels, currently under construction, with advanced ballast-water treatment systems. This initiative, announced on Wednesday, positions FedNav at the forefront of compliance with impending federal and state regulations aimed at eradicating invasive species that often hitch a ride in ships' ballast tanks. The U.S. Coast Guard has set forth regulations mandating that all new vessels entering U.S. ports after 2013 must be fitted with these treatment systems. While certain exemptions have been granted and existing ships are subject to retrofitting during their first major overhauls since 2016, many shipping companies have sought and received extensions, arguing that the technology to effectively eliminate invasive species from ballast water is still in development. However, Montreal-based FedNav is taking proactive steps by installing these innovative systems on its next generation of oceangoing ships, which are being constructed at the Oshima shipyard in Japan. This forward-thinking approach not only enhances FedNav's commitment to environmental stewardship but also sets a benchmark within the industry.
