It allows to calculate the emissions of their container transport from the beginning to the end
Hapag-Lloyd introduced EcoCalc, an online tool that allows to calculate the emissions of their container transport from the beginning to the end of its journey.
As an environmentally committed company, Hapag-Lloyd places high priority on environmental issues in managing our business.
The worldwide reduction of emissions like CO2 is one of the most important challenges of our time. Hapag-Lloyd strives to reduce emissions continuously throughout the entire transport chain and in particular on our ships. Therefore we are proud to introduce our new EcoCalc, an online tool that allows you to calculate the emissions of your container transport from the beginning to the end of its journey. It covers the whole transport chain including inland transportation and not only from port to port.
EcoCalc supports your commitment to sustainability by providing more transparency and a smaller carbon footprint due to our modern, environmental friendly ships. Our latest new buildings consume 23% less fuel and therefore emit almost a quarter less CO2 than other container ships of this size operating worldwide.
EcoCalc offers you a comprehensive overview of various types of emissions as follows:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
- Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
- Particulate Matter (PM)
Hapag-Lloyd EcoCalc Methodology
The Hapag-Lloyd EcoCalc considers the different sections of the transport chain and applies industry recognised methods of calculation.
For seaborne transportation, emissions of carbon dioxide are calculated according to the methodology developed by the Clean Cargo Working Group. Hapag-Lloyd provides the basic calculation data for all owned container vessels and vessels operated under long-term charter. Nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide and particulate matter emissions are calculated according to the methods of EcoTransIT World.
For pre- and on-carriage all emissions displayed for CO2, NOx, SO2 and PM10 are likewise calculated according to the EcoTransIT World methods.
For all transport modes full utilization of capacities is assumed.
