Wallenius Wilhelmsen has joined the Smart Freight Centre (SFC), a global non-profit organization focused on climate action in the freight sector, and attended the Global Ro-Ro Community kick-off meeting hosted by SFC in Amsterdam in April. The group, which brings together carriers and shippers, aims to establish uniform standards to accelerate the decarbonization process within the Ro-Ro shipping industry, creating common ground for fair competition between carriers in terms of scope 3 GHG emissions accounting.
“We are very happy to collaborate with our peers and leverage SFC’s extensive experience to develop a clear and consistent standard to accurately allocate the scope three emissions of our cargo. Comparability is a key market driver to incentivize others on the decarbonization journey,” says Jørgen Westrum Thorsen, Senior Manager of Sustainability at Wallenius Wilhelmsen
Wallenius Wilhelmsen helped establish the Global Ro-Ro Community in partnership with SFC, NYK, and ClassNK. The initial community members and other operators from Japan, Korea, Europe and Latin America, and some well-known verification bodies and cargo owners attended the kick-off meeting.
Moving forward, the group intends to have a final draft of ISO 14083 / GLEC-compliant global standard methodology for scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions accounting for deep-sea Ro-Ro shipping ready by the end of the year.
