Sustainability & environment
Sustainable shipbuilding and repair aligned with international standards
At SYM Naval, sustainability is at the core of both shipbuilding and repair. Our operations are guided by ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, ensuring environmental protection and the highest standards of safety for our teams. We integrate eco-efficient technologies such as advanced coatings and ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) to reduce emissions and minimize the environmental impact of vessel operations.
These solutions not only comply with international regulations but also support the global transition toward greener shipping. By combining certified engineering standards with sustainable practices, SYM Naval helps shipowners reduce their footprint while maintaining efficiency, reliability and long-term performance.
Committed to greener and safer shipping
Certifications that guarantee
SYM Naval operates under the strictest international certifications, ensuring that sustainability and safety are fully integrated into both ship repair and shipbuilding projects.
- ISO 14001 certifies our environmental management system, guaranteeing that every activity is carried out with processes designed to minimize impact and protect natural resources.
- ISO 45001 certifies our occupational health and safety management, ensuring safe working environments for our teams and partners.
By aligning with these standards, SYM Naval ensures that every project is delivered with certified reliability, protecting both the environment and the people involved.
Commitment to Decarbonization
SYM Naval actively supports the maritime industry’s transition towards decarbonization. Our projects and operations are aligned with IMO and international climate objectives, applying technologies and practices that minimize emissions and promote cleaner fleets.
We develop electric propulsion vessels such as Castalia, integrate hybrid and zero-emission solutions, and implement eco-efficient systems in repair and construction projects, from ballast water treatment systems (BWTS) to advanced protective coatings.
By embedding sustainability into every stage of the process — design, execution and maintenance — SYM Naval delivers solutions that combine technical performance with environmental responsibility, contributing to a safer, greener and more competitive maritime industry.
Sustainability applied to every project
Protecting the environment, supporting shipowners
At SYM Naval, sustainability is not an option but a core responsibility. From ship repair to newbuild construction, every project is executed under certified processes and eco-efficient technologies that reduce emissions, protect natural resources and ensure long-term compliance for shipowners worldwide.
