Flying Tiger Copenhagen and Maersk to use only ''green'' fuels for ocean freight

Retail chain Flying Tiger Copenhagen will transport the entirety of its Maersk ocean freight transport volume with Maersk’s ECO Delivery Solution from 2024 onwards.

Founded in 1995, Flying Tiger Copenhagen has more than 900 stores across 27 countries in addition to international e-commerce services.

Maersk ECO Delivery will ensure the retail chain’s ocean freight transport exclusively uses certified ‘green’ fuels such as second-generation biofuel. Based on waste feedstocks, the use of these fuels is intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from ocean logistics.

 

The Danish-based logistics company defines green fuels as those with low (65-80%) to very low (80-95%) GHG emissions over their life cycle compared to fossil fuels. All GHG savings are confirmed to the customers with a certificate.

The GHG emissions of these seaborne transports are being reduced by over 80% on a lifecycle basis compared to the usage of conventional fossil fuels. Read more
