Xeneta: CO2 emissions decline on key ocean freight lanes in 2023

CO2 emissions from the container industry fell during the first quarter of 2023 across 10 of the world’s 13 busiest ocean freight lanes, according to  industry analysis from Xeneta. 

The trade corridor making the biggest impact was the US West Coast to the Far East Lane, according to the Carbon Emissions Index (CEI), an environmental benchmarking tool designed by Xeneta and Marine Benchmark, while Yang Ming was the best contributor. 

Emily Stausbøll, Xeneta shipping analyst said: “Global shippers looking to shrink the carbon footprints of their logistics chain will be delighted to see some meaningful falls in emissions on key freight corridors.
