ONE launches new low-emission shipping service

Japanese liner Ocean Network Express (ONE) has unveiled a reduced emissions shipping service designed to meet the shared decarbonisation goals of the shipping industry.

The new shipping service, named ONE LEAF+, offers customers the opportunity to manage their emissions and minimise environmental impact across the value chain.

The name is short for “low emission-able freight” while the ‘+’ symbolises the advancement that ONE anticipates from decarbonizing the supply chain.

The service will include the use of regulation-compliant alternative fuels on designated vessels, allowing customers to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions.

When using the new shipping service, customers will receive certification indicating the CO2e savings verified by an independent third party for their shipments with ONE, helping them track their progress towards sustainability goals.

“At ONE, we are fully committed to our target of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. The launch of ONE LEAF+ underscores our commitment to sustainability and provides our customers with the tools and transparency they need to make informed choices about their Scope 3 GHG emissions,” said Gilberto Santos, SVP of ONE’s global commercial service management.
