Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) has actually minimized carbon discharges to much less than fifty percent of 2010 degrees.
According to HMM, the carbon dioxide discharges produced when delivering 1TEU of container for 1 kilometer lowered from 68.7 g in 2010 to 29.05 g in 2021, standing for a decrease of 57.7% over the last years.
This has actually been accomplished in the middle of a greater than two-fold rise in fleet capability, from 337,407 TEU to 755,209 TEU, over the very same duration.
HMM associates its success to its initiatives to frequently update its fleet with energy-efficient mega-vessels. It likewise made use of exceptional antifouling paint as well as customized the spheric bow’s form to reduce the hull surface area’s frictional resistance.
Additionally, HMM has actually enhanced its functional performance by enhancing solution courses, rates, as well as freight stowage. HMM created a devoted Task Force in 2015 for efficient power performance administration as well as opened up a Fleet Control Center in 2020. The Center evaluates real-time information regarding vessel procedures to lower greenhouse gas discharges.
HMM has actually devoted to getting to net-zero carbon discharges throughout its fleet by 2050. Last February, it authorized newbuilding agreements for 9 9,000 TEU methanol-fueled containerships. In March, HMM was chosen as the best-performing provider, accomplishing the most affordable carbon exhaust in between Far East Asia as well as the UNITED STATE West Coast in Q4 2022, based upon the Carbon Emissions Index (CEI) released quarterly by Xeneta.
