Three Currents, One Ocean. How ATPI is Navigating Sustainability this World Ocean Day 

Each year, World Ocean Day unites millions of people and organisations around the world to protect and restore our shared ocean. The 2025 theme, “Catalysing Action for Our Ocean & Climate,” calls for transformative change, frosoniam restoring coastal ecosystems to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices across industries. 

At ATPI, our work across the marine and energy sectors places us at the heart of this transformation, supporting clients as they navigate a more responsible, data-led, and regenerative future. 

From restoring natural carbon sinks to decarbonising crew change logistics, we’re helping ocean-reliant industries measure their impact, reduce emissions, and invest in solutions that give back to the waters they depend on. 

The case for coastal restoration 

Mangrove forests are one of the world’s most powerful carbon sinks and one of the most threatened. ATPI Halo supports the Delta Blue Carbon Project in Pakistan’s Indus Delta, where large-scale mangrove restoration is helping protect biodiversity, support and improve local livelihoods, and remove carbon from the atmosphere at scale. 

“Mangroves do so much more than store carbon,” explains Pippa Ganderton, Director of ATPI Halo. “They’re home to countless species, a vital source of income for fishing communities, and an irreplaceable part of coastal ecosystems. If degraded, it can take over a decade for them to regenerate — and in some cases, wildlife may never return.” 

Projects like Delta Blue also resonate with ATPI clients in the marine and energy sectors, who see value in supporting initiatives that align with the environments they operate in. As more organisations address the emissions linked to business travel and logistics, demand is growing for high-quality, blue carbon offsetting solutions that are both credible and meaningful. 

Driving sustainable operations in offshore environments 

For companies operating in the offshore energy sector, the connection between environmental sustainability and operational success is becoming increasingly undeniable. Offshore operations rely on healthy marine ecosystems not just for access to resources, but also for long-term viability. This dependency is prompting a growing shift towards smarter, more sustainable travel and logistics. 

“Healthy oceans are not just an environmental concern — they’re an operational necessity,” says Zara Higgins, Global Head of Energy at ATPI. “We’re seeing rising demand for travel solutions that reduce carbon emissions, minimise fuel consumption, and still maintain the safety and reliability this industry demands.” 

Through platforms like ATPI Crewlink™, a specialist travel solution for the energy sector, clients are gaining access to data-driven insights that help them optimise crew rotations and adopt greener transport strategies. These changes are helping organisations reduce their travel-related carbon footprint while aligning with both regulatory expectations and ESG ambitions. 

“The future of offshore energy is sustainable,” Zara adds. “ATPI is proud to support that transition by helping our clients make informed, responsible travel decisions that protect the marine environments they depend on.” 

Rethinking crew change logistics 

Crew travel is increasingly recognised as a critical factor in the marine industry’s sustainability efforts, with a growing focus on how logistics decisions affect emissions and operational efficiency. With thousands of seafarers moving around the globe every day, the environmental footprint of crew changes has become a central focus for the sector. 

Calypso Diareme, ATPI’s Global Head of Cruise Logistics, explains: “Marine logistics are inherently ocean-reliant. Every decision we make around transport and routing affects not just our clients’ operations, but also the marine ecosystems we work within.” 

Solutions like CrewCarbon are helping shipping companies take measurable steps towards cleaner crew change logistics. The tool enables clients to measure, report, and understand the carbon footprint of every crew rotation, providing the visibility they need as a first, essential step towards more sustainable operations.

“What’s powerful about CrewCarbon is the transparency it offers marine clients,” says Calypso. “By reporting on the environmental impact of their travel in real-time, they’re better equipped to meet regulatory demands, demonstrate progress, and start identifying opportunities for future emissions reductions.” 

With mounting pressure from stakeholders and regulators alike, having real-time, transparent data is crucial for marine organisations to demonstrate progress, make cost-effective changes, and lead with accountability. 

Turning the tide, together 

From restoring vital ecosystems to building more efficient, lower-carbon supply chains, ATPI is proud to support the blue economy with solutions that combine environmental integrity with industry expertise. 

Across marine, energy, and travel sectors, our focus is clear: to empower organisations to reduce their footprint, protect ocean health, and contribute to a more sustainable future, one journey at a time.
