APL cuts carbon dioxide emissions

American President Lines (APL) cut CO₂ emissions by roughly 5% in 2017 compared to 2016, making it the eight consecutive year the carrier has achieved a reduction.

APL also registered fuel savings of almost 5%, and the carrier attributed both achievements to operational efficiencies, fleet and voyage optimisation, and the deployment of a fuel-efficient fleet of vessels.

Dennis Yee, APL’s global head for safety, security and environment, said: “APL’s concerted efforts to improve our environmental efficiency year after year underscore our commitment to a greener and more sustainable maritime industry.”
