Ocean Network Express (ONE) and Yusen Logistics have announced a new agreement to promote sustainable shipping solutions. This partnership will utilize ONE’s green shipping service, ONE LEAF+ (Low Emission-Able Freight).
The collaboration aims to enhance sustainable supply chain practices and marine transportation. Under the agreement, ONE will use sustainable biofuels for propulsion. This approach achieves up to an 84% reduction in well-to-wake CO2 emissions compared to Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO).
Yusen Logistics will offer this green shipping option to its customers. This initiative enables customers to reduce their Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Gilberto Santos, Senior Vice President at ONE, emphasized the significance of this collaboration. “This partnership represents an important step in expanding the availability of green shipping solutions in Asia,” Santos stated. He highlighted the flexibility it offers customers in reducing supply chain emissions.
Kohei Omura, Head of Ocean Freight Forwarding Group at Yusen Logistics, expressed pride in the agreement. “We are pleased to be the first logistics company in Asia to sign with ONE,” Omura stated. He noted the importance of building a sustainable future through eco-friendly shipping solutions.
ONE LEAF+ allows customers to manage their emissions proactively. The service currently uses UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester), a biodegradable biofuel derived from food production.
