It covers activities carried out by Atlas and its main subsidiary, Seaspan Corporation (Seaspan) from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. In 2024, Atlas undertook the divestiture of the majority of the assets of APR Energy and ceased active operations. Consequently, this report covers only Seaspan Corporation whereas past reports have included both Seaspan Corporation and APR Energy. In 2024, Seaspan conducted a double materiality assessment to evaluate materiality of its ESG factors from both an impact and financial perspective to determine risks and opportunities, strategies, goal setting, and key performance indicators on which to focus efforts. The resulting list of material topics closely aligned with previous assessments as well as demonstrated a similarity in the prioritization of impacts perceived from external and internal teams, suggesting a strong alignment between sustainability and business operations. Seaspan continues to make progress on its decarbonization journey. Seaspan's Action for Vessel Energy Reduction (SAVER) initiative aims to improve the overall efficiency of every vessel, and to lower fuel consumption and emissions across the fleet. In 2024, Seaspan spent $37.8 million to improve the efficiency of its vessels and continued to invest in adding alternative fuel vessels to its fleet. As of December 31, 2024, Seaspan's fleet included 24 LNG duel-fueled containerships. Seaspan also continues to advance its social goals in maintaining a fair working environment and occupational health and safety and the company is continually reinforcing its governance policies, prioritizing accountability, transparency, and security to protect the long-term interests of its stakeholders and the public. Bing Chen, President and CEO, stated, " We are pleased to continue to advance our ESG initiatives—progress that has been driven by cross functional teams through the collective efforts of our entire organization. With the steadfast support of our Board of Directors and the active engagement of our stakeholders, we continue to partner with our customers and embed sustainability into the core of our strategy and operations."

Fire dept neutralises acid spill at Kuala Kangsar school
IPOH: The Perak Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) took approximately two hours to clean up an acid spill at Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan Tsung Wah in Kuala Kangsar near here today. Perak JBPM Operations Division Assistant Director Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad said they received a distress call at 3.30 pm, prompting a team from the Kuala Kangsar Fire and Rescue Station to be dispatched to the scene. 'The spill involved a 20-litre drum of acid stored near the school canteen. The acid had begun to evaporate while a teacher was tidying and cleaning the storage area. 'Firefighters in full protective gear conducted a size-up and applied the SAVER (Systematic Approach for Victim Extrication and Rescue) concept to identify the substance and assess the leakage,' he said in a statement. Sabarodzi said the drum was removed from the storage room and placed in a designated chemical disposal room. 'Firefighters then cleaned the floor to ensure full decontamination. The school was also advised to contact the contractor responsible for managing the acid,' he added, noting that the operation concluded fully at 5.55 pm.
