Protection of the marine environment is a priority and an ongoing commitment. <\/span>Our production site stands by the sea, and both the incoming raw materials and the outgoing products are shipped by sea: thus we have a duty of care for the environment that hosts our operations. Respect for the sea is ensured through a three-pronged approach: constant monitoring, prevention and control.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The sea area fronting the refinery is monitored by of seawater samples taken at different depths, to check the environmental parameters of the waters<\/strong>.
\nMarine biologists perform regular samplings and tests to support the plant\u2019s chemical laboratory, equipped with highly sophisticated technologies.
\nCorrectness of these readings is checked by several supervisory authorities, such as the Harbourmaster\u2019s Office and the Ministry of the Environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throughout the two-year period 2023-2024, the quality status of marine waters was found to be in the high range of the classification, highlighting a high level of water quality.<\/h4>\n

To assess the trophic state of the waters, a new parameter \u2013 specific to the seas surrounding Sardinia<\/strong>, has also been used: CAM (seawater classification) index based on specific algorithms for the different sea areas.
\nCAM index values for the sea surrounding Sarroch consistently show high<\/em> quality of the seawater.<\/strong><\/p>\n

PREVENTION<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Maritime transport is very important to Sardinia: the port of Cagliari is the third-ranking in Italy in terms of tonnes of cargo handled.<\/p>\n

The Sarlux marine terminal<\/a> with an average traffic of 800 ships a year, <\/strong>is a major contributor to this result.<\/p>\n

For several years now, we have implemented a strict vetting and control policy on the characteristics of all the crude oil and refined product tankships docking at our terminal.<\/p>\n
