安全是航运业永恒的主题，安全就是生命，是生存和发展的基石。人的不安全因素和物的不安全状态均有可能导致事故的发生。事故不仅吞噬了经济业绩，造成财产损失和环境污染，还会损害人的健康，甚至夺去人的生命，造成巨大灾难。解决这一挑战的最有效方法，就是增强安全意识，完善科学管理，提高安全技能。

      Safety is the eternal theme of the shipping industry. Safety means life. Safety is the footstone for survival and development. The insecure elements of human beings and the insecure status of objects can both lead to the occurrence of accidents. Accidents could obliterate economic performance, causing the loss of property and the pollution of environment, and harm human health, even deprive of lives. The most effective solution to this challenge is to increase safety awareness, perfect scientific management, and improve safety technology.

     石油资源是全人类共有财产，不可再生，不容浪费。随着运力的逐年提升，船舶燃油的消耗也在不断增加。中远集运也是燃油消耗大户之一，全年消耗燃油约二百多万吨。公司通过投入新一代集装箱船舶，达到最大载货量，优化航线配置，实行最佳航速，减少航行里程，采用最新技术，控制燃油消耗，以保证单位耗油量的逐年下降。

      The resources of petroleum belong to all the human beings. It cannot be regenerated and it cannot afford any waste. With the annual increase of shipping capacity, the consumption of fuel on ships is increasing. COSCON is one of the major consumers of petroleum with an annual consumption more than 2000,000 tons. To decrease the unit fuel consumption amount annually, the Company puts into use the new generation of container vessels to maximize the carrying capacity, optimizes the route system to reach the best speed and reduce the mileage of a ship, and adopts the latest technology to control the fuel consumption.

     温室气体排放被认为是造成全球变暖的原因之一。排放与燃油消耗是成正比上升的。努力减少燃油消耗是我们控制排放的基本手段，我们使用低硫燃料，以减少硫氧化物的排放，冷藏集装箱内采用无氟制冷系统。

      The emission of greenhouse gases is believed to be one of the reasons for global warming. The emission goes up side by side with oil consumption. Reducing oil consumption unrelentingly is our basic means to control the emission. Our company uses low-sulfur fuel to reduce the emission of sulfur oxides (SOx). The reefer containers install the cooling unit without fluorine.

      防止污染，是我们始终关注的主题之一。我们严格遵守国际国家的法律法规，防止重大污染事故，停止使用TBT（三丁锡）涂料。实施“船舶压载水管理计划”，以免传播微生物。实施“船舶垃圾管理计划”，防止有毒要害垃圾污染海洋环境。

     Preventing pollution is always one of our concerns. We strictly conform to the relative international and domestic laws and regulations to prevent any serious pollution accident. We have stopped using TBT (Tributylzinn) painting. The “Ships Ballast Water Management Plan” is implemented to stop the spread of microorganisms. The “Ships Garbage Management Plan” is also carried out to prevent the poisonous and harmful garbage from polluting the sea.

      世界的资源是有限的，我们将尽量回收利用可持续资源。我们设计的新型船舶可回收98%的造船材料。我们将不懈努力，尽量利用其他木材和材料制作集装箱底板。

      The world’s resources are finite, so we are trying to recycle reusable resources. Our newly designed ships can recycle 98% of the shipping building materials. We will make constant efforts to utilize other timber and materials as the floor materials for containers.

      水资源是宝贵的。我们竭力提倡节约用水。我们所有船舶均采用海水淡化系统，解决部分生活用淡水，以节省船舶淡水的消耗量。

      Water is precious, so we call for thrifty use of water. The sea water desalting system installed on all our ships can partly meet the fresh water demand for life and thus reduce the consumption of fresh water on ships.

      上述措施，虽然会带来财务上的困难，增加成本支出，可能对公司未来利润造成一定的负面影响，但我们一定采取积极的方法应对气候变化的挑战，确保安全营运，降低能源消耗，减少温室气体排放，防止污染，让海洋更清洁，天空更蔚蓝。

     Though the above measures may cause financial difficulty, add to the cost, and even exert some negative influence on the Company’s future profit, we still take active measures to confront the challenge from the changing climate to ensure the shipping safety, to decrease energy consumption, to reduce the discharge of greenhouse gases, to prevent pollution. With our efforts, the sea will be clearer and the sky will be bluer.

 

     本报告书的目的是希望通过向公司内外公开2006年度的公司各项活动，使其成为广大利益相关者了解我们的环保信息的材料，为大家所充分利用。我们相信这将是一份极有意义的环境报告，而且信息量丰富。

      The purpose of this report is to reveal the company’s activities to the public, so interested parties can know all about the environment information of us. We believe this is a significant environment report with rich information.

      为了使我们能够在环境保护方面能有质的进一步提高，衷心欢迎您对我们今后的工作提出宝贵的意见和建议！

      You are welcome to provide valuable opinions and proposals to our next work!
