KR verification under Clean Shipping Index

The Clean Shipping Index is an online device which allows cargo owners to make informed, sustainable choices when selecting a shipping company. The tool allows shipowners to input environmental information which then enables shippers to compare the environmental performance of fleets and individuals ships.

KR chairman and CEO, Dr Oh Kong-gyun, said: “Increasingly, cargo owners are seeking to ensure that all of their operations are environmentally friendly – and that includes their supply chains. We are heavily involved in many aspects of green shipping including the provision of greenhouse gas verification services and the Clean Cargo Working Group. Caring for the environment is at the top of our corporate agenda and I am delighted that we now able to take a positive role in this valuable and very worthwhile environmental tool for cargo owners.”

KR has been certified as fit to verify the environmental data submitted by shipowners and operators including greenhouse gases, nitrogen, sulphur and other potential pollutants.
