K+N sharpens emissions calculations on sea freight

Kuehne + Nagel will provide its ocean freight customers with exact emission data.

   Swiss freight forwarder Kuehne + Nagel said it will now provide its ocean freight customers with exact CO₂ emissions instead of estimates.
   The Global Seafreight Carbon Calculator allows calculations of CO₂, SOx and NOx emissions for container and less-than-containerload movements from door-to-door and is available on Kuehne + Nagel’s webpage.
   Based on the European Standard EN 16258, GSCC is a planning support tool that helps customers to calculate and model complex supply chains. The methodology of the program is based on the Clean Cargo Working Group standards for CO₂ emissions, allowing individual trade lane-based CO₂ footprint per gram/TEU/kilo to be obtained. Additionally, GSCC offers detailed information about SOx. 
   On request, K+N will also provide customer-specific CO₂ emission reports through its Global Transport Carbon Calculator. This tool is designed to monitor carbon emission from transportation activities and the reports include ocean carrier-emission data provided by individual carriers. The data is integrated into the KN Login platform and allows reports per trade lane, region, country, mode of transport and carrier.
