Created in 2004, LONG JI aims to identify and offer the world best green shipping technologies to the avant-garde Chinese ship-owners and shipyards. Thanks to this partnership with JLMD, LONG JI is taking a strong lead on the growing sustainable shipping market in China and steps up in the field of maritime passive safety.
LONG JI declared: “We are very excited to start this cooperation with JLMD Ecologic Group and promote the FOR Systems in China. Long JI is committed to offer Chinese shipping players with the best international environmental standards. We believe that accidental pollution is the new area of improvement for the industry and the FOR Systems are key elements of a truly green ship. The Chinese market is now mature to undertake the maritime passive safety revolution and lead the way towards a better account of accidental pollution in the ships’ design and construction phases. “
Gilles Longuève added: “LONG JI has a great track record in the sustainable shipping world. Together, we will work in China to raise awareness on the FOR Systems as the most efficient existing solutions to tackle accidental pollution. Chinese shipyards have already in the past demonstrated their will to build the most environmental-friendly vessels. The FOR Systems respond to their growing need for a more efficient solution to mitigate accidental pollution. We are confident that with the FOR Systems on-board, the salvage operations are made easier and the work of the salvors safer for the greatest benefit of the environment and ultimately of the whole maritime community.”
The FOR Systems have already made their way on the Chinese market thanks to the Tianjin Xingang Shipyard, which has become last August the first in the world to equip new built bulk carriers with this innovative technology.
