CSCL vessels verified under Clean Shipping Index

Maritime classification company, Germanischer Lloyd (GL) carried out office audits and audits onboard the vessels. Both vessels obtained the maximum score on CO2 emissions, meaning that the emissions are much lower than vessels of the same type.

Keanna Zhu, from CSCL’s European and Mediterranean trade marketing division, said: “Our company spends a lot of energy and efforts in environmental protection and energy conservation. Qualified and sustainable service is always a key element that we provide to our customers.”

Markus Weber, head of greenhouse gas services, Germanischer Lloyd, explained: “As owners and operators face an increasingly tough market, they are looking for ways to differentiate their vessels from the competition. Investing in energy efficiency measures and technologies which reduce the impact of their ships on the environment can not only help the bottom line, but is increasingly sought after from both charterers and clients.”

“Showing that the data they provide has been independently and rigorously checked is an important demonstration of CSCL’s commitment to improving their environmental performance and of the quality of their vessels,” he added.
