​​​​Emission Monitor


OOCL is committed to reducing environmental impact by minimizing the carbon footprint. Since 2010, our online Carbon Calculator has been launched for calculation of estimated CO2 emission. To proactively measure the emission performance to achieve a sustainable environment, we launched a new emission platform “Emission Monitor” to keep monitoring emission performance on our vessels and end-to-end shipment operation.


Emission Monitor is designed to instantly consolidate the emission information and closely monitor the emission performance of our vessels and end-to-end shipment operation to ensure compliance with IMO CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator) and progress towards decarbonization. We understand the importance of supporting our customers to measure the environmental performance of their shipments and achieve their sustainability goals and decarbonization targets. The monitor has been extended to serve our customers with visibility on real-time calculation of CO2 emission for all confirmed bookings.


Real Time Visibility on CO2 Emission for Shipments

Online Calculator vs End-to-End Emission Monitor

  • Our Online Calculator calculates estimated CO2 emission by service routes and TEU/TONS.
  • The new emission platform will auto calculate and monitor end-to-end total emission of your shipment from place of receipt to final delivery. The monitor will advise the updated CO2 emission for amended shipments.
  • Real time calculations of emission in End-to-End Emission Monitor.

About Emission Calculation Methodology

Emission calculation applies Clean Cargo Work Group (CCWG) methodology on ocean emissions. The methodology has been globally adopted for containerized cargo. Emission factors are calculated by Tank-to-Wake (TTW) basis. For OOCL operated vessels, the platform calculates emission factor based on actual distance and bunker consumption.

Inland transport emissions adopt Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC) framework as well as emissions published by local organizations with reference to our historical data. GLEC framework is the first global recognized methodology to calculate logistics GHG emissions and formed the basis for ISO 14083.
