At OOCL, we are committed to a greener future by offering our sustainable shipping solution that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in your logistics transport, bringing you a step closer to your sustainability goals.
OOCL Green is an additional service in E-Spot that offers you a simple way to compensate for GHG emissions from our surplus emissions reductions from our biofuel sailings. Regardless of the fuel our vessel uses, the Mass Balance Concept allows you to opt in for OOCL Green for any available shipments, not just those using vessels powered by biofuel.

Common Queries about OOCL Green
OOCL Green is an additional service on E-Spot that enables you to decarbonise your ocean freight shipments through the use of biofuel in OOCL vessels.
When you purchase OOCL Green, you’re investing in additional biofuel beyond what OOCL already uses for regulatory compliance and operational needs. This extra biofuel reduces emissions, and these reductions are then allocated to you and tracked via our emissions savings inventory.
Biofuel usage for OOCL Green is driven by demand. The more customers who choose OOCL Green, the more biofuel OOCL will purchase and utilise. By purchasing OOCL Green, you are directly contributing to accelerating the transition of sustainable shipping practices in general, consequently demonstrating your commitment to environmental responsibility. This can enhance your brand image and help you meet your sustainability goals.
We utilise ISCC-certified biofuel, specifically UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester). This biofuel can achieve up to an 84% reduction in CO₂e emissions compared to conventional fuels like VLSFO when used as B100 (100% biofuel).
The Mass Balance Concept enables the attribution of achieved emission reduction from the biofuel consumed within our fleet to your shipments. The emission savings can be proportionally allocated to you regardless of the vessel carrying your cargo.
