Safe and clean shipping is in the interest of all involved with shipping. The Green Award Foundation bestows international recognition on seagoing vessels (oil tankers and bulk carriers) that meet very high maritime safety and environmental standards. These Green Award vessels are in turn provided financial incentives on port charges by Green Award ports. As a result, higher levels of safety and pollution prevention are maintained, ensuring a win-win for all parties. Port Taranaki is a "Green Award" port. By providing an incentive to owners and managers of Green Award vessels, the port attracts vessels operating with high standards. In turn the community benefits as the port and the vessels make a positive difference to the local maritime environment.
