Supporting Communities
We have been steadfast in our commitment to uplift lives, protect the environment and enhance the well-being of people in communities around the world. We deliver this commitment through three focus areas.
Firstly, in line with our belief that education is a powerful enabler that can transform lives, we sponsor education initiatives to help young people realise their potential, both within and outside the maritime industry. Secondly, we contribute to social, humanitarian and environmental projects in the communities where we operate, as well as programmes that benefit the global seafaring community. Lastly, we encourage our people to give their time, skills and expertise through volunteerism, supporting causes that are meaningful to them.
Focus Story: Expanded Partnership with TAMUG
In Galveston where our Ship-to-Ship (STS) lightering business is based, AET expanded its collaboration with Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) through a new two-year cooperative agreement in 2025. Building on our partnership established in 2021, this formalised agreement reflects a shared commitment to advancing maritime education and supporting the development of talent for the growing blue economy.
