Ocean Network Express (ONE) and Yusen Logistics have announced an agreement to utilize ONE LEAF+, ONE’s green shipping service, to provide sustainable shipping options to Yusen Logistics’ customers, according to the company’s release.
ONE, Yusen Logistics advance sustainable shipping solutions
The service, ONE LEAF+, was launched last year, aimed at enabling its customers to minimise environmental impact across the value chain. Under the agreement announced today (18 February), ONE will use sustainable biofuels for propulsion, which it says will achieve ‘up to 84% reduction in well-to-wake CO2 emissions’ compared to very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO).
As a freight forwarder, Yusen Logistics will offer this green shipping option to customers, enabling them to simultaneously reduce their Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
‘This collaboration with Yusen Logistics represents an important step in expanding the availability of green shipping solutions in Asia,’ said Gilberto Santos, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial and Service Management, ONE. ‘Through ONE LEAF+, we are offering customers the flexibility to reduce their supply chain emissions while maintaining the reliability they expect from ONE. Together, we are advancing our shared commitment to sustainable shipping and supporting the industry’s decarbonisation goals.’
Kohei Omura, Head of Ocean Freight Forwarding Group, Yusen Logistics, added: ‘We are very pleased to sign an agreement with ONE as the first logistics company in Asia and aim to build a more sustainable future through the provision of eco-friendly shipping solutions together. By utilising ONE LEAF+, we are proud to offer our customers more sustainable choices and contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions.’
