Our approach to sustainability
Understanding the climate impact of your ocean freight
When you plan your ocean freight, understanding the associated emissions can help you make informed transport decisions. Addressing these emissions is a shared challenge for you as a transport buyer, shipping lines and logistics providers.
At Greencarrier Liner Agency, we represent Evergreen Line and work with you to plan your shipments. The emissions associated with your freight depend on factors such as the vessel, fuel, route, cargo volume and capacity utilisation.
We help you explore transport options and understand how our renewable fuel solutions work, so you can assess how they fit your transport needs and priorities.
MARITIME BIOFUEL INSETS
Supporting the switch to renewable marine fuel
Through Greencarrier Liner Agency’s Maritime Biofuel Insets, you can support the replacement of fossil marine fuel with liquefied biomethane (LBG), without changing your existing transport setup.
How it works
Our solution uses Book & Claim. LBG replaces fossil fuel in maritime transport, but is not necessarily used on the vessel carrying your goods.
The greenhouse gas emission reductions resulting from the fuel switch are calculated and allocated to your selected sea freight flows. You receive documentation of the calculated emission reductions allocated to those flows.
Contact us to discuss how Maritime Biofuel Insets can be included in your next booking.
Evergreen’s approach to reducing emissions
Evergreen Marine’s work to address greenhouse gas emissions includes fleet renewal, operational efficiency measures and the development of alternative fuel options.
In its sustainability reporting, the company describes measures such as adjusting vessel speeds and introducing more fuel-efficient vessels. It has also ordered vessels equipped with dual-fuel methanol engines.

Fleet renewal and energy efficiency
Fleet renewal is part of Evergreen Marine’s approach to improving energy efficiency. In its sustainability reporting, the company describes the introduction of more fuel-efficient vessels alongside operational measures to manage fuel consumption.
A shipment’s greenhouse gas emissions depend on several factors, including the vessel, the fuel used, the route and capacity utilisation.
Vessels equipped for methanol use
In 2023, Evergreen ordered 24 container vessels equipped with dual-fuel methanol engines. In 2024, it also signed an agreement with X-Press Feeders to transport Evergreen containers on the operator’s dual-fuel methanol vessels in Europe.
The greenhouse gas emissions associated with methanol use depend on how the fuel is produced and the amount used. Methanol capability alone does not determine a vessel’s climate performance.
Exploring alternative marine fuels
In 2023, Evergreen signed a memorandum of understanding with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners to explore the production and use of alternative marine fuels, including e-methanol and e-ammonia.
The agreement concerns the exploration of future fuel options, rather than a confirmed fuel supply for individual shipments.
Operational efficiency
Evergreen’s sustainability reporting describes the use of fuel consumption monitoring, weather routing and vessel loading calculations to support energy-efficient operations.
These tools help crews assess routes, vessel speed and loading conditions, with the aim of managing fuel use while maintaining safe operations.
Sea freight – a climate-efficient alternative
The comparison shows that sea freight is the most climate-efficient transport option available for a given shipment.
The comparison shows calculated emissions for a 2 kg parcel transported a distance of 1000 km.
Let us calculate the climate impact of your transport
If you want to know the climate impact of your transport, you can order a CO2 calculation from us. The calculation is provided in a clear and concise report format.
Transport emissions — 2025
At Greencarrier Liner Agency, we calculate the emissions associated with our bookings with Evergreen. The figures below show total emissions and average emissions per tonne of cargo transported one nautical mile for all bookings in 2025. Bookings may include feeder services and shipments carried out by alliance members.
These indicators help us monitor transport emissions over time and identify areas for improvement.
Calculated by Greencarrier Liner Agency. Reporting year: 2025. Last updated: January 2026.
