Sustainability
What Are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
At Sinay, we pride ourselves on supporting the European Union’s goal of a sustainable future as communicated through the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Curious about how the maritime industry affects the environment? Do you know how environmental monitoring systems work? Water, air, and noise quality affect all forms of life, and environmental awareness is the key to understand how to make maritime activities more attractive and helpful for surrounding communities. As the world population becomes more aware of its ecological footprint, maritime actors such as ports and shipping companies need to understand the environmental impacts of their activities.

From Ports to Fishing, Marine Protected Areas to Rivers and Inland Waterways, water quality monitoring is critical to identifying problems and tackle pollution.
Water quality is one of the most important indicators in a healthy ecosystem. Good quality water sustains human life, wildlife and marine life and is a key element of maintaining biodiversity.
The environmental challenges faced by the shipping industry and the role of the IMO in coordinating efforts to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint. It examines the IMO’s priorities from an environmental perspective.
Metocean data is fundamental to the success of all marine offshore & renewable projects, from planning and exploration to design and implementation.
Metocean concerns understanding meteorological and oceanographic conditions in offshore coastal engineering or renewable energy projects.
Countries are accelerating their energy transition with the fight against climate change. They are actively exploring alternative solutions for electricity generation.
Climate change, pollution, loss of resources, social inequality, income disparity, and famine… —are all pressing issues that countries are currently facing.
The path to creating a better world for future generations is no longer solely the concern of governments and international organizations.
As the modern world continues to expand thanks to technology & globalization, cities & industries grow and evolve with it—but so does their waste.
Thanks to the expansion of industrial and commercial activities in cities, factories, and ports, air pollution in these areas have significantly risen to the point where it has turned into a threat to both human and animal health, as well as the environment.
Improving air quality has moved significantly up the agenda for ports and maritime businesses following the latest significant tightening of guidelines by the World Health Organization (WHO).
As the world continues to grow more global with greater care for environmental sustainability and support, so does Sinay. As a European company that offers a user-friendly solution that improves EU blue economy competitivity and sustainability, we are expanding our international presence and establishing our
Air quality is important to everyday life and human health. Measuring and monitoring air quality thus has an important impact on surrounding communities. Governments across the world implement and regulate air quality to ensure their residents are healthy, breathing clean air.
Ports and the shipping industry both impact short- and long-term air quality; however, both players can take action to improve their harmful emissions near coastal towns and cities.
Ocean freight stakeholders, including shipping companies, ports, and regulatory agencies, are taking a range of initiatives to reduce underwater noise and protect marine life.
The United Nations has adopted regulations to preserve and protect the marine ecosystem under the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Part XII, article 194, invites all stakeholders to undertake any essential action “necessary to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the marine environment from any
The term SEL (Sound Exposure Level) commonly refers to the potential effects of sounds made by humans and machines on marine creatures. The whole sea transportation industry actors need to improve their business sustainability.
Detecting and analyzing underwater noise is crucial for companies working in the maritime industry in order to monitor and reduce their carbon impact, particularly water pollution, but also to comply with international regulations.
Human activities under and above water such as commercial shipping, sonars, exploration, and construction, as well as seismic surveys, endanger the environment as their continued employment is responsible for the rising levels of noise pollution in the ocean.
In the ocean, many marine mammals and other species rely on their hearing for survival. Sound is critical for communication, navigation, locating prey, avoiding predators and finding mates.
Water is fundamental for the survival of both land and marine species, our oceans, lakes, and rivers should remain as clean and safe as possible.
As one of Earth’s most precious natural resources, water is a fundamental element of life.
Dredging is essential for ports to remain in operation. However, understanding why and how dredging works can be complicated. Therefore, we will explain the purpose of dredging and all that it entails for ports.
From Ports to Fishing, Marine Protected Areas to Rivers and Inland Waterways, water quality monitoring is critical to identifying problems and tackle pollution.
Water quality is one of the most important indicators in a healthy ecosystem. Good quality water sustains human life, wildlife and marine life and is a key element of maintaining biodiversity.
The fishing industry is a core sector of many countries’ commercial and economical success, and the oceans are its key resource. Governments have set up policies and regulations on a local and international level to ensure that fishing activities don’t throw the ecosystem.
Fishing is strictly regulated over the world. Complete, reliable, and accurate data are mandatory for better fisheries management by marine data scientists and authorities.
Following this period of a health pandemic, if there was one lesson to be learned from so many others, it is that no market is immune to collapse. In the seafood sector, the French food chain has undoubtedly continued to supply supermarkets, but the closure

We may not always realize it, but the environment affects us every day both long term and short term.
As 90 percent of goods are shipped by sea, evidently the maritime sector has a big impact on economic activity and equally a big impact on the environment. With maritime activities and environmental impacts increasing every year, we must care more about the Earth’s health.
When ports and shipping companies focus on reducing their environmental impacts, they also increase their business efficiency. For example, when shipping companies use less fuel or other sources of energy, they are reducing their environmental impact while decreasing costs. When ports focus on reducing port congestion, they reduce fuel emissions which helps the surrounding community, yet they also make their port more efficient. Caring for the environment in fact cultivates economic growth while positively impacting the human population, marine life, and wildlife.
The maritime industry must also prepare for non-renewable resources to continue to decrease. They must therefore use renewable and less harmful energy sources. This switch is often digital, encompassing Smart Ports and Smart Ships.
Human health, natural resources, the ecosystem, economic growth, and future generations are all impacted by how we treat our environment.
Environmental monitoring uses real-time data, Artificial Intelligence, and advanced monitoring systems connected to sensors to give key environmental indicators so that maritime actors can reduce pollution and decrease environmental impacts. These key indicators help measure air, water, and noise pollution.
Digitalization and real-time data allow maritime actors to more efficiently measure environmental impacts than with past techniques that only use sampling and lab tests.
Environmental monitoring helps maritime actors to assess risk and generate risk assessment and impact reports. It also helps maritime actors to have more support from the surrounding community.
Environmental monitoring reduces the short-term and long-term environmental impacts of maritime activities, contributing to more national support for ports and shipping companies.
Digital automated monitoring systems are essential for the future of maritime activities and the future of the impact on air, water, and noise quality for the human population.
The demand for environmental monitoring is increasing worldwide, and there exist many types of environmental monitoring analyses including water quality monitoring, air quality monitoring, and noise quality monitoring.
