Hapag-Lloyd partners with DB Schenker to decarbonize supply chains
In Germany, shipping line Hapag-Lloyd said it has entered into a partnership with DB Schenker for the purpose of decarbonizing supply chains.
DB Schenker and Hapag-Lloyd have signed an agreement for emission-reduced container transports with a waste- and residue-based biofuel. By end of 2023, DB Schenker plans to claim approximately 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions avoidance. This is based on at least 1,000 tons of pure biofuel.
“We are excited about this new partnership with DB Schenker as we share the common goal of making logistics more sustainable. Collaborations like these set a clear signal in the industry and are another example of a step-by-step approach to further decarbonize supply chains”, said Henrik Schilling, Managing Director Global Commercial Development at Hapag-Lloyd.
Hapag-Lloyd had previously launched the Ship Green product to offer its customers emission-reduced ocean transports. Based on biofuel, customers of Hapag-Lloyd can add Ship Green as an additional service to their existing bookings, the firm said.
