TOKYO: NYK has become the first Japanese shipping company to realize a
carbon-neutral voyage by offsetting 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide
(CO2), equivalent to the CO2 emitted by NYK’s environmental flagship car
carrier Aries Leader during one voyage between Japan and the Middle
East.
Aries Leader is equipped with the latest energy-saving technologies,
reducing CO2 emissions per unit by 30% compared with existing large pure
car carriers (i.e., comparing emissions on a per car basis). In this
initiative, the remaining CO2 emissions not yet eliminated by technology
have been offset by carbon credits to allow NYK to realize
carbon-neutral transportation that theoretically reduces CO2 emissions
to zero.
This initiative demonstrates the ability of NYK to provide
carbon-neutral transportation to its Japanese and overseas customers,
thus meeting the demand for a more sustainable, carbon-free supply
chain. NYK will propose and expand its carbon offsets to customers as an
option that benefits the environment and contributes to a
zero-carbon-footprint supply chain.
The company will continue its efforts to provide shipping services that
meet customer needs, as well as create new green businesses through
carbon credit initiatives and realize the company's basic philosophy of
“Bringing value to life.”
