Green Shipping in Action - Biofuel and Carbon Reduction Practices in the Fleet

Date:2026-04-17

The shipping industry is accelerating its transition towards emission reduction and transformation under the circumstance of global efforts to combat climate change and promote green and low-carbon development,. The Company's fleet is proactively responding to international environmental protection requirements and actively exploring green shipping paths.

Our fleet is actively implementing the requirements of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and FuelEU Maritime. By optimizing speed management, enhancing operational efficiency, and rationally allocating the proportion of low-carbon fuel usage, it effectively reduces carbon emission intensity and alleviates the pressure of carbon quota costs. At the same time, in combination with ship energy efficiency management measures, our fleet continuously improves the overall green level of operations, ensuring a balance between compliance and efficiency.

We have achieved phased results in the application of biofuels and in responding to the EU's emission reduction regulations. Some 38K vessels on European routes have started to use biofuels in actual operations. This type of fuel can be directly used under the existing power system without large-scale equipment modifications, effectively reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the vessel's life cycle. Through pilot operations on relevant European routes, the fleet has accumulated valuable operational and management experience in using biofuels, laying a solid foundation for subsequent promotion.

Through the above measures, our fleet has achieved a coordinated improvement in emission control and economic benefits while ensuring safe operation, further enhancing its competitiveness in the international shipping market and demonstrating the company's commitment to fulfilling its environmental responsibilities. Looking to the future, the company will continue to deepen its green shipping practices, explore diverse low-carbon technology paths, and contribute to promoting the sustainable development of the industry.
