Sustainability & ESG

Core Philosophy

At Queen Star Trading, sustainability is not just an obligation — it is the foundation of our future strategy. As global trade evolves, we are committed to shaping a shipping and commodities business that delivers growth while actively reducing environmental impact.

Our forward plan centers on fleet modernization, eco-technology adoption, and responsible operations. Every initiative is aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the IMO’s 2030 and 2050 decarbonization targets, ensuring that our growth contributes directly to a cleaner, greener maritime industry.

By combining our proven expertise in trading with a clear sustainability roadmap, we aim to be a long-term partner in the global energy transition — delivering essential commodities today, while preparing for a future where low-carbon logistics is the standard.

Our Forward Commitments

Green Initiatives → Use low-sulphur fuels, invest in scrubber tech, and plan LNG dual-fuel vessels (via QueenStar SPV).
Carbon Reduction → Measure and align emissions with IMO 2030 and 2050 targets.
People & Communities → Focus on crew safety, welfare, and local community investment.
Governance → Ensure transparency, compliance, and ethical conduct at all levels.

Growth Philosophy

We operate with a long-term, family-driven vision. Instead of chasing short-term dividends, we reinvest into sustainability, innovation, and future fleet ownership. This counter-cyclical approach strengthens resilience across market cycles and positions Queen Star Trading as a future-proof partner for clients and investors alike.

Future Fleet Strategy

Transition to Ownership – Through QueenStar SPV, we plan to move from charter-only operations to owning a modern eco-fleet.
Fleet Renewal – Seven dual-fuel new builds scheduled for delivery between 2025 and 2028.
Upgrading – Continuous retrofitting of both chartered and future-owned tonnage.
Target – A fleet where 90%+ is eco-efficient, reducing emissions and operating costs.

Operational Reach

Our logistics expertise connects producers and end-users across major global trade routes, ensuring security and efficiency. Key flows include:

Iron ore from South Africa to China
Coal for power generation across Asia
Grains and other bulk commodities vital to food security and industrial growth

Looking Ahead

Backed by financial strength, deep market knowledge, and a dedicated team, Queen Star Trading is evolving from a pure trader to a green-enabled shipping partner. Our strategy ensures that as the world moves toward cleaner energy, we will continue to deliver — reliably, responsibly, and sustainably.
