Partnership to decarbonise supply chains

Hapag-Lloyd and DB Schenker have signed an agreement for emission-reduced container transports with a waste- and residue-based biofuel.

Hapag-Lloyd AG and DB Schenker have signed an agreement for emission-reduced container transport based on the use of waste- and residue-based biofuel.

The deal follows the launch of Hapag-Lloyd’s ‘Ship Green’ programme in May. This allows customers to avoid emissions with a “Book & Claim” chain of custody whereby Hapag-Lloyd purchases biofuel and adds it to selected vessels’ fuel mix, then allocates this to individual shipments regardless of the vessel and route. The underlying emissions avoidance calculation is based on the emissions-accounting methodology of the Clean Cargo Initative, a standard widely used by carriers, freight forwarders and shippers.

Taking over terminals in North, Central and South America

Hapag-Lloyd AG has completed the 100% acquisition of Chilean-headquartered SAAM S.A.’s port terminal and related logistics business. “This investment will allow us to expand our long-term access and service offering to and from the Americas,” said Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen. “Latin America stands out as one of our key regions and investing in terminal infrastructure in stronghold markets such as these is an important part of our strategic agenda.”

Latin America is of course also a powerhouse of reefer container trade, where Hapag-Lloyd is a key global player. Earlier this year, the carrier announced that it had equipped 100,000 of its reefer containers with telematics monitoring devices and is on track to turn its entire reefer fleet smart by the end of 2023. 

The SAAM deal includes interests in terminals in Iquique, Antofagasta, San Antonio, San Vicente and Corral (Chile), Port Everglades (United States / Florida), Mazatlán (Mexico), Buenavista (Colombia), Guayaquil (Ecuador) and Caldera (Costa Rica), plus logistics services.

According to Drewry’s latest report M&A-led growth strategies is quickest route to build market share.

Increased privatisation activity and M&A-led growth strategies will propel leading regional container terminal operators and container shipping lines into the global terminal operator (GTO) rankings next year, according to Drewry Shipping Consultants Ltd’s latest Global Container Terminal Operators Annual Review and Forecast.

Hapag-Lloyd AG, Ocean Network Express, Adani Ports and SEZ and AD Ports Group are all set to feature in next year’s league tables, said the consultant. “While the position of the largest global terminal operators at the top of the rankings look secure, the number of companies seeking to invest in the global ports market has increased in recent years. However, with global container port volumes increasing by just 0.5% in 2022, M&A has emerged as the quickest route to build market share.”
