The SUSTAIN-1 classification recognizes the DLV2000 for its environmental performance, including energy efficiency, waste management, emissions reduction, and coastal ecosystem preservation.
“This classification stands as a testament to our ability to adapt and meet evolving customer needs with a focus on operational excellence and environmental stewardship in marine construction,” said Mahesh Swaminathan, McDermott’s Senior Vice President of Subsea and Floating Facilities. “It also demonstrates McDermott’s proactive approach to advancing sustainability within offshore project execution and sets a new standard for environmentally responsible marine operations that leverage vessels in the DLV2000 class.”
“Embedding ESG principles into every aspect of our business is central to advancing our sustainability goals,” added Rachel Clingman, Executive Vice President, Sustainability and Governance. “The SUSTAIN-1 classification not only aligns with this but also highlights the practical steps we are taking to support responsible offshore energy infrastructure development.”
This achievement aligns with the International Maritime Organization’s efforts toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which emphasizes the importance of sustainability in marine operations. Other previously classed vessels include floating production and offloading vessels.
