Emitting less CO2 together: Container shipping holds course
With the implementation of IMO 2020, the shipping industry has proven that it, too, can take a major collective step towards lower sulphur emissions. The industry’s next goal: reducing CO2 emissions and thereby helping to slow down global warming.
“When it comes to climate-friendly measures, our overriding principle is to use as little energy as possible for as much transport performance as possible,” says Jörg Erdmann, Senior Director Sustainability at Hapag-Lloyd AG. “Since we are a container shipping company with over 230 vessels, this means that we mainly look at our fleet. That’s where we can reduce emissions the most.”
