ONE cuts its carbon footprint

Last November, the 4,803 TEU MOL Experience was refuelled with sustainable marine biofuel at the Port of Rotterdam while carrying cargo for GoodShipping pioneers Dopper, Blygold, Geelen Counterflow, Yumeko, North Actionsports Group, Srface, and Zaytoun. Following the trial, ONE and GoodShipping will continue to work together.

Katarin van Orshaegen, Commercial Lead, GoodShipping, said: “Shipping needs forward-looking, environmentally-conscious companies to help facilitate the shift to alternative fuels as the sector moves towards decarbonisation.”

“ONE is a prime example of a container company who shares our goal of changing the way the industry thinks about future fuels. At GoodShipping, we empower the transition to fossil-free transport by enabling cargo owners to switch to advanced biofuel and change the way they do business.”

Supplied by GoodShipping’s sister company GoodFuels, the biofuel is a carbon-busting solution that delivers an 80-90% well-to-exhaust carbon reduction compared to fossil fuel equivalents, and that also eliminates virtually all SOx emissions.

By accepting a volume of the sustainable, advanced biofuel on the MOL Experience on behalf of GoodShipping’s customers, ONE is enabling a reduction in each cargo owner’s carbon footprint by 100% on any given journey. GoodFuels’ biofuel empowers them to achieve a 100% well-to-exhaust CO2 reduction and make their overall supply chains more sustainable. This is because the biofuel volume accepted by the MOL Experience is equal to the calculated CO2 costs of transporting a cargo owner’s goods.

ONE was founded in 2016 as a joint venture between Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL), and K Line.
