Hapag-Lloyd launches new EcoCalc emissions calculator
With the launch of the new EcoCalc, Hapag-Lloyd introduces an emissions calculator that not only shows CO2 emissions, but also those of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter for a given container transport.
In addition, EcoCalc is one of the few emissions calculators in liner shipping to cover not only the ocean leg, but also the emissions of the other modes of transport for the pre-carriage and on-carriage.
EcoCalc is available for use from the company’s website and determines the emissions for every individual container transport with Hapag-Lloyd worldwide. The calculation method used for the ocean legs operated by Hapag-Lloyd has been verified by Germanischer Lloyd.
"Cutting CO2 emissions is one of the most important challenges, not only for global logistics, but also for the entire world economy," said Michael Behrendt. "Transparency is vital to ensure better comparisons between emissions. Only when this is sufficiently certain customers can make a deliberate choice for a more environmentally friendly and sustainable product. That’s why the EcoCalc emissions calculator we are offering creates the greatest possible transparency. Transparency in terms of emissions will be a decisive factor for sustainable products to establish themselves in the transport chain."
