GERMAN forwarding giant DB Schenker and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) have a deal that aims to have up to 30,000 TEU transported by the ocean with net-zero emissions this year, reports New York's Journal of Commerce.
DB Schenker stated the agreement is to use 12,000 tonnes of sustainably sourced biofuel for containerised cargo shipped by MSC this year.
"We are doing this because we firmly believe it is the right thing to do and are therefore paying for biofuel purchases in advance," said DB Schenker global board member Thorsten Meincke.
"One thing is certain: The more customers demand climate neutrality throughout supply chains, the faster we achieve clean container ocean freight."
The 12,000 tonnes of biofuel purchased will save 35,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e) along the entire well-to-wake production chain this year.
MSC senior vice president Caroline Becquart stated decarbonising ocean freight cannot be achieved by a single player.
"MSC Biofuel Solution is our first certified carbon-in setting programme that reduces emissions in our customers' supply chains, accelerating the energy transition by creating demand for net-zero carbon shipping and delivering direct CO2 savings," said Ms Becquart.
