The use of sustainable marine fuels is an important lever for DHL Global Forwarding to reduce the environmental footprint of ocean freight, says a press release published on their website.
Sustainable Marine Fuel (SMF) service
DHL Global Forwarding introduces another Sustainable Marine Fuel (SMF) service for ocean freight as part of their sustainability strategy.
LCL shipments extended
Following the success of the launch of a similar service for Less-than-Container Load (LCL) shipments, they are now extending the carbon reduction option to Full-Container Load (FCL) shipments.
About the new service
Customers can easily choose the use of sustainable biofuels e.g. via the myDHLi Quote + Book function, which also includes a carbon calculator.
Offering the option of using SMF is another step towards cleaner and greener ocean freight, in line with Deutsche Post DHL Group’s Mission 2050 of zero emissions logistics.
Reduction of carbon footprint
“The launch of our Sustainable Marine Fuel service for the neutralization of carbon emissions for LCL shipments was very successful” says Dominique von Orelli, Global Head of Ocean Freight, Global Forwarding.
“The SMF based service makes it easy for our customers to reduce their carbon footprint and has been very well received so far. We are very excited that we can now also offer this option for FCL shipments and provide our customers with the opportunity to decarbonize their entire ocean freight trade lanes.”
