INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS:

Sustainable and Environmentally Proactive

Shipping has the lowest environmental impact and the highest level of energy efficiency of all the forms of commercial transportation. A ship can carry one ton of goods a distance of 250 kilometres for every litre of fuel it consumes, compared to 100 kilometres for a freight train and 30 kilometres for a truck. The industry has also recorded a substantial reduction in marine pollution over the last two decades, despite a massive increase in the volume of world seaborne trade. At the same time, the industry continues to move foreward on the environmental front, with a view to further minimizing its impacts with respect to such key issues as air emissions, fuel efficiency, and operational discharges.
