HMM becomes best-performing carrier for carbon emission
between Far East and U.S. West Coast
achieving the lowest carbon emission between Far East Asia and the U.S. West Coast in Q4 2022,
based on the Carbon Emissions Index (CEI).
CEI is published quarterly by Xeneta, a leading ocean freight rate analysis firm, in partnership with
Marine Benchmark, a data management specialist for the maritime industry. CEI demonstrates
the carbon intensity of shipping companies across 13 main global trade lanes based on the actual
cargo load and sailing data.
According to CEI, HMM recorded 70.2 in Q4 2022, scoring 27% better than the trade lane average of 96.2.
HMM unveiled its mid-to-long-term strategy in July last year and is committed to enhancing its
environmental capabilities.
As part of its continuous environmental initiative, HMM ordered nine methanol-powered containerships
last month. It also has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various fuel suppliers to
secure the supply of methanol fuel.
In addition, HMM opened a land-based 'Fleet Control Centre' in 2020. This centre is enabled to monitor
harmful greenhouse gas emissions by effectively controlling fleet operations and processing sailing
data in real time.
An HMM official said, "Environmental capabilities are key to success for a sustainable future amid the
ever-changing market situation. We will be dedicated to better preparing for stricter environmental
regulations by reducing carbon emissions."
