- Shell Marine has been awarded a multi-year contract to provide marine lubricants to cruise line operator Carnival Corporation’s global fleet of 89 ships.
- Carnival will also offset the carbon dioxide emissions from the marine lubricants it purchases from Shell, through Shell’s nature-based carbon credits.
A recent article published in the Ship Insight, Shell wins contract for lube supply and carbon offsetting with Carnival.
Joris van Brussel, General Manager, Shell Marine, said, “Shell Marine is working with our customers to help the shipping sector decarbonise. This is in line with Shell’s ambition to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050 or sooner, in step with society and our customers”.
Shell is unique in its own way
Through their marine lubricants and integrated service offering which includes technical and digital services, they help customers like Carnival optimise engine efficiency.
It thus reduces a ship’s environmental impact. Shell’s integrated approach and carbon-neutral marine lubricants can help bring customers like Carnival a step closer to achieving their sustainability ambitions.
Cleaner cruise experience is key
Michael T Mcnamara, Vice President Global Fuel Sourcing, Carnival said, “Addressing climate change is a top priority for us and we are committed to delivering a cleaner, more efficient and sustainable cruise experience”.
Aligning the supply chain with our decarbonisation strategy was a key consideration and Shell’s carbon-neutral marine lubricants support our efforts to reduce our carbon emission by 40% by 2030. We have made significant progress and welcome this initiative from Shell Marine on our decarbonisation journey.”
