Our Decarbonisation Program

Thanks to a number of initiatives that we have implemented, we are making progress towards our climate ambitions.

For example, we are reducing speed on our vessels when laycan allows, partnering strategically with ports and service providers to improve port productivity and reduce wait times, optimising the environmental performance of our vessels by ensuring proper antifouling and taking corrective actions as needed, and using biofuels on our vessels.

We are also continuously adding more energy-efficient vessels to our fleet, designed to use low- or zero-emission fuels such as ammonia or methanol as these become more widely available.

We recognise that achieving our climate ambitions will require collaboration and partnerships with a range of stakeholders, including cargo owners, fuel producers, ports, and policymakers. That is why we are committed to working with others to drive sustainable development in the shipping industry and to create a more sustainable future for all.

The service supports the reduction of Scope 3 transport emissions without requiring your cargo to be carried on a specific low-emission voyage. Each certificate is independently verified and supported by documentation for climate reporting, stakeholder communication and internal decision-making.
