Hapag-Lloyd introduces climate-friendly solution

Hapag-Lloyd is introducing Ship Green - a new solution for climate-friendly transportation based on biofuel.
The solution is accessible from anywhere at any time and requires no long-term commitment from customers, according to the company. In the first rollout stage, customers can add Ship Green as an additional service to their existing bookings.
The solution enables customers to choose among three different options, representing different levels of avoidance in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions: 100%, 50% or 25% of their shipment’s ocean-leg CO2e emissions. The Ship Green options are available for confirmed shipments via the Online Business Suite on Hapag-Lloyd’s website.
The emissions avoidance results from the use of biofuel instead of conventional marine fuel oil within Hapag-Lloyd’s fleet.
The company guarantees that it uses biofuel from 2nd-generation feedstock sourced from certified supply chains and produced from waste material, such as brown grease or used cooking oil.
“At Hapag-Lloyd, we are committed to making it easier for our customers to avoid emissions and contribute to decarbonisation. With our new Ship Green solution, we are offering our customers an easy and flexible way to reduce their environmental footprint and make their supply chain more sustainable,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd.
