_{^{Understanding the challenges facing the US Navy in providing fuel for ships and aircraft while underway, we have decided to focus our near term efforts on providing cost effective, environmentally friendly, mission critical underway fueling support to the US Navy}}


 
Cleveland Shipholding Group operates based on the following principles: 

• Excellence & innovation in ship design, with a sharp focus on developing environmentally-friendly ships - ships that use less fuel, have a smaller carbon footprint, and that provide an optimal level of environmental safety in the ship's design
• Excellence in ship operation, with a sharp focus on operating ships, both for ourselves and for others, in the most environmentally safe way possible
• Excellence in ship support, with a sharp focus on developing and implementing new technologies in cost-effective modifications that will enhance a ship's environmental safety and reduce the envirmental effects of ship operation

In pursuing these principles we find that our approach to ULTRA-Green^tm ships is also a low cost approach, proving that environmental responsibility does not have to mean higher costs - it just has to mean carefully planning and executing the business with environmental safety and impact always in mind
