Damco Launches Online Calculation Of CO2 Emissions

Damco has begun providing customers with an online calculation of carbon dioxide emissions.

The new information is available online at myDamco, the browser-based customer interface with Damco. This service enables Damco customers to track CO2 emissions for all products shipped by ocean and air.

"Our customers are faced with increasing requirements for more efficient and sustainable supply chains. Experience shows that greening your supply chain can reduce logistics cost and emissions from your inbound supply chain by up to 15 percent. Online visibility of carbon emissions will enable you to take earlier corrective action if operations is not in sync with your carbon reduction and efficiency goals" says Erling Johns Nielsen, Damco's global head of supply chain development.

Every single shipment can be measured in Track and Trace functionality. A customer can, for instance, quickly evaluate emissions from an air freight shipment, or form an overview of top 10 emissions separated by mode of transportation, origin and country destination, based on reports from this new online tool.
