A new report by marine NGO Seas At Risk highlights the economic and climate benefits of wind-assisted propulsion in global shipping. Retrofitting sails on large vessels can save nearly half a million U.S. dollars in fuel costs and reduce carbon emissions by up to 12% annually. This makes wind propulsion crucial for achieving the IMO’s emission reduction targets.
Increased emissions from shipping diversions due to Middle East conflicts have led to a spike in carbon emissions per tonne of cargo in major shipping lanes. Shippers are resorting to air and rail transport, resulting in higher CO2 emissions. Shipping disruptions have prompted global trade redirection, creating environmental challenges and economic costs.
SpotOn allows users to request a quote for alternative fuels to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 84%. With the added option of their CARBON OFFSET solution, users can further offset emissions by a net reduction of 20%. This digital feature provides easy access to ACT+, offering low-carbon solutions since 2020.
