15OCT2019 - NEWS - Hudson Shipping Joins Trident Alliance

United States based commodities trader Hudson Shipping Lines (HSL) became a member of the Trident Alliance as part of the company’s ongoing ‘green’ initiatives.

The shipping company is increasing its commitment to cleaning up the shipping industry in conjunction with two environmental organizations. Hudson has recently joined the Trident Alliance as a member.

“The shipping industry has a tremendous opportunity to improve its impact upon the world with the IMO 2020 sulfur cap. Hudson believes it has a responsibility to encourage companies and countries to comply with both the letter and also the spirit of the sulfur rules,” said company President, Avi Eilon. Hudson has previously announced its intentions to not charter or use vessels with open or closed loop exhaust scrubbers installed following the implementation of the IMO2020 sulfur cap on January 1, 2020.

Hudson’s membership in the Trident Alliance is part of Hudson’s efforts to ensure that the shipping industry lives up to the standards set by the global sulfur cap.
