Hapag-Lloyd partners with DB Schenker on “Book and Claim” biofuel transport

Hapag-Lloyd and DB Schenker have signed an agreement for emission-reduced transport with a waste- and residue-based biofuel, under a “Book and Claim” chain of custody.

By the end of the year, DB Schenker plans to claim around 3,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) emissions avoidance, based on at least 1,000 tonnes of pure biofuel.

The shipping line launched its Ship Green product in May, which enables customers to add the biofuel-based service to their existing bookings, avoiding CO₂e emissions.
