Evaluation of environmental performance on The Derrick Laying Barge –BGL

The present work describes methodology directed to environmentalist’s managers working with ferries that deals with underwater oil extraction in order to evaluate their (EMS) Environmental Management Systems performance. The study was developed throughout two methodological dimensions: Bibliographical and Field Research. A Literature’s review describing the evolution of environmental problems and ISO 14.001 and ISO 14.031 Norms were discussed, since they are employed by many organizations to administer theirenvironmental demands. The work is qualified as a qualitative research since a field case study was carried out. A propel derrick and induction ferry (BGL) was investigated in order to answer the questions considered in the study’s introduction. The aim was to integrate the evaluation process of environmental performance, like for instance: current policies, objectives and benchmarks analysis of Integrated Management System for the BGL. Moreover, the study intended to develop a methodology to identify benchmarks and toevaluate the impacts at BGL. It also intended to apply the methodology developed to identify benchmarks and significant impacts at the BGL. Afterward, to consider new environmental protection targets based on the significant aspects identified and to develop newenvironmental benchmarks based on the environmental targets proposed.
