Transforming Ports Into Allies of the Environment
Bowline offers sustainable solutions and environmental certifications that connect port operations to the green economy. Our mission is to unite innovation and responsibility for a future with fewer emissions, less waste, and greater positive impact.
GreenPort Certifications
We connect your terminal to the green economy. Bowline supports companies in obtaining environmental certifications such as GreenPort, strengthening ESG reputation and expanding access to sustainable investments.
Energy Transition
From fossil fuels to clean energy. We offer solutions like the Shore Power system, which reduces emissions by connecting ships to the local electrical grid while docked—eliminating the need for diesel generators.
Environmental Innovation
Engineering solutions designed to enhance port sustainability and reduce environmental impacts — including technologies for the direct capture of plastics within terminals.
GreenPort Certifications
Bowline supports companies on their journey toward certified sustainability, facilitating access to seals and audits required by investors and international markets.
Through technical assessments and regulatory support, we connect port operators to the world’s best environmental practices — including GreenPort, a certification that recognizes operations aligned with environmental preservation and impact reduction in the maritime sector.
Our work covers the full path from identifying ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria to implementing processes that make certification attainable. We work side by side with clients to ensure transparency, legal compliance, and measurable impact within port operations.
With this, terminals, operators, and lessees become active participants in the global ecological transition — without losing competitiveness in the marketplace.
Energy Transition for
More Sustainable Ports
Bowline leads the implementation of energy transition solutions that reduce the environmental impact of maritime and port operations in Brazil. Our commitment is to bring innovative technologies that contribute to the decarbonization of maritime transport, improve air quality in port areas, and enhance operational efficiency.
Clean energy
for berthed ships
The shoreside electrical power supply technology is arriving in Brazilian ports through Bowline, the official representative of this major innovation.
The solution allows ships to shut down their onboard generators while berthed and receive electricity directly from the local grid.
This drastically reduces greenhouse gas emissions and port noise levels, while also generating significant operational savings for shipowners.

Innovation in port technology
for a cleaner future
Bowline acts as a bridge between the most advanced port technologies and the growing demand for sustainability. Our commitment is to identify, represent, and implement solutions that reduce environmental impacts and improve operational efficiency in Brazilian ports. From clean energy systems to pollutant-capture equipment, we work to bring cutting-edge technologies to the country, aligned with global goals for ocean preservation and the decarbonization of maritime transport.
Fighting waste and microplastics at the dock
An innovative ocean-cleaning technology now available in Brazil through Bowline. Installed along quaysides, the device works as an “aquatic trash bin,” capturing solid waste, microplastics, oils, and other floating pollutants before they spread into the sea.
Operating silently 24 hours a day, it contributes to healthier marine ecosystems and becomes a key ally in combating coastal pollution.
