CLdN Continues To Offer Customers Best Short Sea CO2 Efficiency

 "CLdN Continues To Offer Customers Best Short Sea CO2 Efficiency")
CLdN today published its fleet emission data for 2024. CLdN’s weighted average fleet emissions were 37g CO2/tonne-km (vs 39g CO2/tonne-km in 2023). This was 9% better than CLdN’s next-best performing short sea competitor, more than 30% better than the peer group average and twice as efficient as road transport by heavy goods vehicle. This directly benefits all CLdN customers and the supply chains they serve by reducing the scope 3 emissions of their cargo.
CLdN is the leader in its sector in driving real emission reductions across its fleet through a combination of capital investment, technological innovation, fleet management and other efficiency measures. To reduce fuel consumption and emissions, CLdN has been investing in new, larger, more fuel-efficient RoRo ships and in eco-upgrades of its existing vessels. CLdN has invested some EUR 750 million in new RoRo ships over the past decade. The result is that CLdN operates more than 30 technologically advanced ships with an average vessel age of 14 years compared to a peer group average fleet age of 18 years.
These recent investments, combined with a daily focus on fuel consumption reduction in its operations, has led to consistent improvement in the carbon efficiency performance of CLdN’s fleet as reported in the European Commission’s Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (EU-MRV) platform. This enables a comparison of the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) of each ship as calculated in CO2 emissions for the transport work done in tonne-kilometres.
Commenting on the 2024 performance, Gary Walker, COO CLdN Shipping, said: “The combination of high efficiency ships with proactive operational management continues to position CLdN as a leader in its field. By continuing to improve our carbon efficiency we enable our customers to reduce their own scope 3 emissions and are confident we will drive emissions per tonne down further, especially with the recent arrival of our two new G9e hybrid vessels the MV Chaumine and the MV Leonine earlier this year. These vessels have an even higher cargo carrying capacity compared to our largest ships, enhanced fuel efficiency and even lower CO2 emissions.”
More information on CLdN’s carbon performance will be available in the upcoming edition of our Carbon Report.
