Measuring the environmental impact of their supply chain has become an increasingly important issue for many companies. To meet this demand, the CMA CGM Group will be making available to customers a new service starting in April 2011: the eco-calculator.

International shipping companies, left out of the Paris climate agreement, have yet to agree on a target to reduce the industry's carbon emissions

CMA CGM, the world's third largest shipping line, has announced a 50% improvement in its CO2 performance for its owned fleet. Thanks to an efficient environmental policy, this success was accomplished in 10 years, with a carbon emission reduction of 50%.

UN agency targets black-carbon pollution from ships.

CO2 targets should cover shipping emissions-adviser.

New database rates energy efficiency of ships.

The Danish island of Aeroe, located in the Baltic Sea, is one of the few islands not connected to the mainland by a bridge. As a result, it is dependent on car ferries. Aeroe also has another distinction: it aims to become 100 % carbon neutral by 2025. Although it has already made big strides towards achieving this goal via a comprehensive solar and wind powered infrastructure, its dependence on conventional car and passenger ferries sits as a significant roadblock.

An EPFL researcher has developed a system based on fuel cells to reduce the carbon footprint and energy consumption of cruise ships, which are increasingly popular among vacation goers around the world.

Decarbonising the shipping industry is a big challenge, but a Finnish company has spent the last two years showing how we can use wind power to save up to 20 % of energy used by ships on long sea voyages.

Some of the world's biggest shipping groups say 'ambitious' action is needed at a key UN meeting to bring the industry in line with Paris climate goals.

With around 90% of world trade carried by ships, making sure a vessel follows the fastest route has clear economic benefits. By merging measurements from different satellites, ESA is providing key information on ocean currents, which is not only making shipping more efficient but is also helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
