Our approach to sustainability
Making efficient use of container space
With our Less-than-Container Load (LCL) services, your cargo shares container space with shipments from other customers. As a neutral consolidator, we plan and combine shipments to make efficient use of available capacity, allowing you to ship smaller volumes without booking a full container.
Container utilization is one factor that influences emissions per unit of cargo transported. The emissions associated with your shipment also depend on factors such as the route, vessel, fuel and inland transport.
Our container utilization target is at least 50 cubic metres of cargo per 40-foot container (FEU). Actual utilization varies depending on cargo dimensions, weight and loading requirements.
MARITIME BIOFUEL INSETS
Shipping made fossil free
Do you want to reduce the carbon footprint of your shipments? Then we have a solution. By switching to renewable fuels on your next booking with Greencarrier, you can cut fossil emissions by up to 100 %.
This is how it works
When you choose maritime biofuel insets we replace the conventional fuel needed for the transport with biomethane (LBG). The biomethane is not always used in the specific ship transporting your goods. Instead, it is bunkered onto several ships according to the book and claim principle. Whenyou choose maritime biofuel insets for your shipment, we issue a certificate verifying the CO2 reduction achieved through the fuel switch.

Sea freight – a climate-efficient alternative
The comparison shows that sea freight is the most climate-efficient transport option available for a given shipment.
The comparison shows calculated emissions for a 2 kg parcel transported a distance of 1000 km.
Maritime biofuels
Reduce your climate impact – choose maritime biofuels
Now you can choose to reduce the climate-impacting emissions from the transport services you order by purchasing CO2 reductions. This purchase means that Greencarrier will reduce its CO2 emissions to the same extent by replacing conventional fuel with LBG (Liquefied Biogas).
Environmental KPI
To become a more sustainable company, we track the emissions derived from our logistics operations. By doing so, we know how we are currently performing and where to focus our improvements.
