Volvo gets first green shipping certificate for using Cosco Shipping Lines bio bunker fuel service

Cosco Shipping Lines on Friday (15 December) said it presented the first green shipping certificate to Volvo based on their utilisation of the firm’s green shipping product Hi ECO.

Cosco Shipping said Hi ECO, a green shipping product utilising green bio bunker fuels, presents an ideal solution for customers to easily decrease the carbon footprint of their shipments by reducing carbon emissions throughout the entire well to wale life cycle. 

Volvo is the first customer to make an agreement with Cosco Shipping Lines for green shipping services, and Cosco Shipping Lines will provide intercontinental cargo transportation services for Volvo through its Hi ECO green service products, marking a significant milestone for both parties.

“After pioneering the bunkering of our operating vessels with biofuel to achieve measurable carbon emission reduction already in 2022, we have consistently been dedicated to assisting our customers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and making positive contributions to sustainable development,” the firm said. 

“Through this added service, customers can reserve climate-friendly freight to fulfil their requirements for environmentally friendly transportation.”
