BlueTack, a cooperative
BlueTack has chosen for an organisation form that differs from the traditional companies normally seen in the salvage industry. This has been done to ensure BlueTack’s 5 innovative building blocks can be fully implemented
Its purpose: BlueTack is a co-operative whose primary aim is to create a sustainable maritime organisation focusing on incident management & pollution remediation where transparency, trust and cooperation are at the core of the company. BlueTack embraces the principles of the Blue Economy, creating solutions that provide added value to the environment, all relevant stakeholders and to society
What is the blue Economy?
BlueTack is in support of what we now call the Blue Economy. The maritime industry is the 7th largest global economy, a lifeline to many people around the world. The aim is to achieve a sustainable use of ocean, sea and coastal resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and employment while preserving the health of the oceanic ecosystem.
Blue Economy enables circularity! The Blue Economy in its purest form ensures we support each other when operating within our specific industries. Guaranteeing that management of waste & pollution is handled correctly, enhancing use of renewables all with the goal to ensure global trade, providing a clear future for the next generation of marine professionals and ultimately contribute to cleaner and healthier oceans.
With BlueTack preparing the marine industry against potential incidents or mitigating its impact, this obviously will have a profound effect on the actual asset owner. More importantly it has a clear effect in protecting the marine environment. BlueTack ensures the right balance is applied and provides its value to the marine environment over pure economic drivers.
