90% of the world's transport is by sea,
the entire economy is based on the ocean.
Thomas Capiten
Every year, more than 9.1 billion tons of goods are transported around the world by more than 50,000 ships . In France alone, nearly 400 million tons are unloaded annually in French ports for a total turnover of nearly 75 billion euros.(Source Gouv)

MAKE A MUTUAL COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER
to protect the ocean and our planet
The "Ships Engaged For Ocean" label proposes to all shipping companies, whether they recognize themselves in the commitments of the Ocean or not, to commit themselves for our common future.
The concept is based on the idea of proposing to each customer a tiny participation allowing to balance the use of the Ocean and the implementation of actions for its preservation and its knowledge. The only way to guarantee the future of this essential resource at all levels.
Therefore, each company can optionally commit to double the client's participation in order to accompany him in the process or to compensate for the refusals by paying the amount itself and thus compensate the client.
This substantial participation represents an important source of funding for expeditions and scientific research, and is part of a mutually beneficial long-term relationship.
