Low Carbon Ocean Solutions

Rethinking Ocean Freight Solutions to reduce CO₂e impact

Ocean Freight remains the backbone of global trade, offering cost-effective and scalable transport for goods across continents. However, its environmental footprint is substantial, accounting for 3.1% of global CO₂ emissions (source: IMO, 3rd GHG Study), with emissions projected to rise as global trade volumes grow. The need to decarbonize ocean freight is becoming increasingly urgent.

As sustainability expectations intensify, driven by regulatory frameworks such as the IMO 2030 targets and growing consumer awareness, CEVA Logistics is committed to supporting the progressive reduction of emissions in ocean freight. Our approach focuses on leveraging more sustainable fuels, optimizing routing, and collaborating with partners to help reduce emissions, while maintaining reliability and efficiency.

Sustainable Maritime Fuel

Sustainable Maritime Fuel (SMF) is a decisive enabler of decarbonizing ocean freight, providing a more sustainable option to traditional marine fuels without compromising on operational reliability or performance.

Benefits

Sustainable Maritime Fuel integrates seamlessly into your operations, requiring no changes to vessels or operational processes. Through the Book & Claim system*, it’s accessible across all carriers and trade lanes, ensuring broad applicability. By replacing the fossil fuel equivalent with certified biofuel—without over-allocation—it delivers real impact, reducing carbon emissions by up to 84% compared to conventional fuel. Each contribution is transparently tracked, with quarterly declarations detailing carbon savings and associated allocations, making it a straightforward and accountable solution for more sustainable shipping.

Your Verified Partner

Our offer is governed by strict internal guidelines aligned with recognized international frameworks, like the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) and the Smart Freight Center (SFC). It undergoes an annual audit by an independent third party to ensure compliance and verify key aspects such as sustainability and traceability, the origin and production of feedstocks, and sourcing and allocation practices to prevent any risk of double-counting.

*What is Book & Claim?
The Book and Claim model is a chain-of-custody system where the environmental attributes of sustainable fuels are traded separately from the physical fuel, allowing buyers to claim emissions reductions without direct fuel delivery
