Maersk Line has signed an agreement with global logistics provider Agility Logistics to cut CO2 emissions by 15% per container transported for Agility shipments by 2020.
Agility Logistics and Maersk Line will cut emissions by shipping cargo on more fuel efficient ships, optimising shipping routes, and taking other steps, such as investigating how to integrate CO2 emission indicators into the regular business information flow and procurement of ocean shipping.
The agreement is part of Maersk’s Carbon Pact Challenge, which sees Maersk Line and its key customers work together to drive down harmful emissions and reduce the environmental impact of container shipping.
The two companies are currently both members of the Clean Cargo Working Group, an international coalition of logistics providers, ocean carriers, and retailers committed to improving the environmental performance of marine container transport.
