Welcome to Ship Green! We're a new community for eco-minded shippers and freight forwarders. Conceived by the team from Wallis Shipping, a UK-based shipping and logistics company operating globally since 1987, Ship Green provides a peer-to-peer networking group, a carbon calculator, an info hub for sustainable shipping news, and environmental protection projects for members to invest in.
Ship Green was established by Jenna Morgan, a second generation freight forwarder from Wallis Shipping, with the desire to make a difference in the industry. Having seen better ways of managing logistics to help conserve the planet, Jenna is pioneering Ship Green as a non-profit collective.
Ship Green CIC will provide a cost-effective carbon calculator for shipments at lower rates than commercial calculators that agents will be able to integrate into their quotations, invoices and websites.
The obligation for almost everyone in the supply chain to record their carbon footprint is fast approaching. From manufacturers, transport, distribution and trading companies, by 31 March 2025, EU companies must submit to the Commission their Emissions ESG report including CO2 usage from shipments.
Ship Green will offer both in-house shippers and agents the ability to track the carbon output of their shipments and offset them against a range of global environmental protection programmes.
Ship Green offers a low-cost carbon calculator API to record the CO2 of cargo, with profits investment into environmental projects. We offer a network of like-minded eco freight forwarders with an info hub of research and industry news to ensure everyone stays ahead of the curve with changing legislation with packages from £25 a month.
Logistics is often the broken link in sustainability as much of it is out of the control of the customer. Ship Green is a force of good – a collective of likeminded freight forwarders and shipping specialists to make a positive change in the industry.
The shipping industry is facing a number of environmental challenges, including:
· Transport de-carbonisation and Net Zero by 2050
· Further engagement with governments and stakeholders on achieving a more sustainable logistics industry
· Emphasis on green supply chains
· Transitioning to greener energy, for example electric vehicles
· Decarbonise shipping fuels - hydrogen fuels
· Cautious about scrubbers for sulphur oxide in ships exhaust
· Properly maintain cargo vessels to avoid oil and chemical spills
· Dismantle out-of-commission ships safely
Members of Ship Green will be asked to sign-up to a number of pledges including offering clients with slower freight movements to reduce emissions, avoiding old transport vehicles, not shipping waste or scrap, not shipping conflict materials, firearms, weapons or ammunition shipments, not shipping single use items and not to participate in non-sustainable supply chains or elaborate cross-trades.
Membership packages start from £25 per month. For further information, please email info@shipgreen.org.
