that exist. Therefore, we expect PMAC to be a very helpful partner as we go forward with the implementation of our carbon reduction strategy.” Ms. Scipio-Hosang goes on to illustrate some of the steps National Energy expects to take in the near future: “We launched two projects in 2024 that will help us with that strategy. One is a low-carbon bunker hub, which involves two other state companies and is sup- ported by Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries. A major issue with transitioning to cleaner fuels is the question of how and where a ship will be able to get low-carbon bunkers, so this hub will be set up to support the supply of transition fuels. The other project is an integrated intermodal transport service to
seamlessly bridge gaps and consolidate cargo. This is special for the offshore oil and gas industry because every company has its own vessels and transport arrange- ments, and there is a lot of duplication. By creating this network of transport services, we can share resources and reduce the number of vessels, trucks, and helicopters that are carrying partial loads.” “All of these initiatives are part of our ambitions to become a model smart and sustainable port. It is a strategic priority for us. In fact, our Board has extensive expertise in these matters and is also pro- viding key direction as we progress along this path. We are using an agile approach to building a sustainable future, so we are applying the learnings and making changes while we work on our master plan.” c
