Emissions
Shipping operations generate approximately 3% of total global carbon emissions. Reducing greenhouse gases and other air pollutants is a critical part of Berge Bulk’s environmental stewardship strategy.
The Maritime Marshall Plan
The planet cannot wait. Berge Bulk is leading the industry with a four-pillar plan to combat climate change — we call it our Maritime Marshall Plan.
Determined to lead the world to a zero-carbon future — through safe, efficient, and sustainable shipping — the decarbonisation of our fleet is a priority.
Through the Maritime Marshall Plan, Berge Bulk is piloting and scaling transformative decarbonisation technologies. With wind assisted propulsion, ammonia-ready vessels on order, B100 biofuel voyages, and our carbon capture and storage pilot, we’re well on track towards our goal of achieving zero carbon emissions fleetwide by 2050.
- Our Ambitions…
- Offset 100% of our scope 1 carbon emissions from 2025.
- Build and operate a zero carbon vessel by 2030.
- Achieve zero carbon emissions fleetwide by 2050.
- Latest Achievements…
- Installed 4 Flettner rotors on Berge Meru.
- Installed a carbon capture system on Berge Yotei.
- Launched the world's first iron ore voyage from Australia to China powered by B100 biofuel.
- Began construction of two new Ammonia ready vessels.
- Reduced our carbon emissions intensity by 46% (vs 2008 baseline).
- Offset 100% of scope 1 carbon emissions.
Our Four Pillar Approach
Berge Bulk’s four-pillar ‘plan of attack’ — the Maritime Marshall Plan — maps out how we are combatting climate change and aggressively decarbonising our fleet.
