DHL Global Forwarding launches green service for ocean freight shipments

DHL Global Forwarding has launched a new green service that allows customers to opt for carbon efficient ocean freight. The new Green Danmar service – offered through DHL’s Danmar Lines – enables customers to select a carrier for full container shipping, which is over 5% more carbon efficient than the industry average.

In addition, they can choose to combine this service with DHL’s offsetting solution and turn their consignment into a CO2 free shipment.

“We see more and more customers expressing an interest in minimizing the carbon footprint of their shipments,” said Dominique von Orelli, Senior Vice President, FCL Product & Capacity Management, DHL Global Forwarding.

“With Green Danmar, we are the first freight forwarding company to offer customers a green service for their ocean freight shipments that can be tailored according to their supply chain needs.”
