Objectives and Targets. The EMS will provide the mechanism for the Operating Lines to establish specific objectives and targets for: • achieving and maintaining compliance with all Marine Environmental Protection Requirements and the requirements of this ECP; • training, educating and fostering among all Covered Personnel the need for solid environmental stewardship through a conscious effort at pollution prevention and transparent recordkeeping; • environmental performance demonstrating continuous improvement in regulated and non-regulated areas; • pollution prevention that emphasizes source reduction, where appropriate, for the waste streams of the Covered Vessels; and • sharing information with external stakeholders on environmental performance against the EMS objectives and targets. The EMS shall establish appropriate time frames to meet these objectives and targets, which shall be documented and updated as necessary. Objectives and targets may need to be updated for reasons including changes to Marine Environmental Protection Requirements, operational changes that could impact environmental performance, or corrective or preventive actions adopted in response to Audit Findings made by internal or external auditors, including the TPA.
