Understanding the extent of the environmental impact of the logistics and marine sectors, Inchcape has taken meaningful steps to reduce its own carbon emissions as well as those of its clients.“ Decarbonization has been a significant focus for us for nearly a decade. Our customers’ targets encompass various aspects related to their vessels, such as hull design and improvements like scrubbers. Equally, many of their targets concern shipping operations that impact carbon emissions and how to optimize efficiency. Our role involves assisting clients in achieving the best possible turnaround times at ports and ensuring seamless operations by expediting their stay at the port. As a result, we not only empower them to reduce their fuel consumption but also improve their overall voyage performance. Our work begins even before the ship reaches port, as we are appointed by our clients to ensure a smooth process that involves substantial preparatory
work. Beyond that, we are committed to optimizing the ships’ activities both within and outside the port or anchorage to help clients stay compliant. We strive to provide all clients, regardless of size, with dedicated attention and support, as each one is equally valuable to us.
