COSCO SHIPPING ships launch Hi ECO shipping service
On December 5, COSCO SHIPPING Lines awarded Volvo Asia Pacific headquarters the first green shipping certificate. This is done based on the company’s use of the green shipping product Hi ECO.
COSCO SHIPPING Lines has introduced a sustainable shipping service called Hi ECO. The company said it has pioneered the provision of biofuels to its operating vessels, aiming to achieve a measurable carbon emission reduction target by 2022.
COSCO SHIPPING Lines strives to support customers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and actively contributing to sustainable development. Hi ECO green shipping service uses biofuels, providing a solution that helps customers quickly reduce the carbon footprint of their shipments by reducing carbon emissions throughout the “Well To WAKE” cycle ” (from raw material exploitation until the ship arrives at the port).
“Through this additional service, customers can transport climate-friendly goods, meeting their requirements for environmentally friendly transportation,” said COSCO SHIPPING Lines.
