Responsibility for Oceans and Coasts
Drive Sustainability with alternative logistics solutions - Ship Green*
With our digital solution Ship Green, you can join us on the path towards reducing emissions. Ship Green* enables you to switch to biofuel and avoid 25, 50 or 100% of emissions caused on the ocean leg of your shipment. Using the “Book & Claim” approach, Hapag-Lloyd can transfer the reduced emissions through the use of biofuel to other seashipments using a precise calculation method.
EU Emission Trading System
The EU Emission Trading System (ETS) is a key tool of the EU’s policy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As the world’s first major carbon market, it is part of a series of legislative proposals with the main goal of achieving the EU’s climate neutrality by 2050.
Collaboration is key! That is why we engage in active dialogue with our stakeholders.
*Ship Green is a service that can be added to a Hapag-Lloyd ocean shipment. Hapag-Lloyd uses certified alternative fuels for part of its fuel consumption within its network and allocates the associated emission reductions to booked Ship Green shipments through a Book & Claim approach. This does not necessarily mean that a specific shipment is physically transported on vessels using these alternative fuels. Ship Green 25, 50 and 100 refer to the share of a shipment's energy allocated to certified alternative fuels, not to the percentage of emissions reduced. The numbers currently correspond to Well-to-Wake emission reductions of at least 21%, 42% and 84% compared with conventional transport using Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO). Further information on the methodology and the fuels used is available at hapag-lloyd.com/ship-green.
**Our Net-Zero 2045 ambition builds on our DNV-verified roadmap and foresees progressive fleet renewal, efficiency improvements, network speed reductions and increasing use of alternative fuels, including e-fuels.
