GOOD FOR YOUR VESSEL, GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

As lifelong ocean lovers, Orams Marine has a keen interest in protecting the environment and the health of sea which surrounds us. From building sustainable technology into our infrastructure, to keeping on top of new and better ways to carry out the work within our premises, we view our approach to sustainability as a constantly evolving practice.  

Hardstand water management

As neighbour to the Hauraki Gulf and with a team of life-long sailors, Orams Marine has a keen interest in protecting the health of our oceans.

In 2020, eagle-eyed occupants of central Auckland’s Beaumont Street noticed a procession of oversized steel tanks making their way through traffic and into the Orams Marine yard. What they were seeing were the first pieces of kit which would eventually became a comprehensive water treatment facility, designed to ensure yard water run-off is free of contaminants.

An in-built water treatment plant separates and treats stormwater and runoff collected across hardstand and covered work areas, built over the last two years. The Orams Marine team worked with sustainability experts prior to the build’s start, with the goal of setting a new shipyard industry standard of discharge water quality, protecting the Waitematā Harbour and New Zealand’s environment longterm.
