BEST unveils sustainability plan aiming to halve logistics chain emissions

Hutchison Ports Barcelona Europe South Terminal (BEST) has made public its sustainability plan, which it claims will enable shipowners to reduce their direct carbon footprint by half compared to other conventional terminals.

According to the operator, the use of electrical equipment and the energy efficiency of the terminal’s automated operations enable the reduction of CO2 emissions by half thanks to high productivity, which is approximately 50% faster than conventional terminals.

The digitisation of a large part of BEST’s processes through a 100% digital and automatic gate system reduces waiting times and emissions, it noted.
