Maersk cuts emissions with fuel efficiency
CO2 reduced 12% after major overhaul of container ships
ENVIRONMENTAL sustainability and growth may seem mutually exclusive, but Maersk Line has shown they can go hand in hand.
The world's largest container shipping line cut its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 3.8 million tonnes in 2013 - a year when its business grew 4.1 per cent. It reduced its CO2 emissions by 12 per cent per container-kilometre last year, after having cut these emissions by 11 per cent between 2011 and 2012.
A company spokesman said Maersk was now aiming for a CO2 cut of 40 per cent per container-kilometre between 2007 and 2020; to date, with six years to 2020, it has already achieved a 34 per cent cut.
