ONE and Hutchison subsidiary collaborate on drive to cut emissions

Ocean Network Express (ONE) Inland Operations and PARIS Optimal Transport Planning Solutions (PARIS), a subsidiary of Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), will collaborate on a new project to cut carbon emissions within their container terminal operations.

As part of ONE’s commitment to reduce their environmental impact, they have begun the process to achieve ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) certification for Europe and Africa region’s landside operations by the end of 2021.

According to HPH, the collaboration will allow ONE to clearly track inland carbon emissions in the supply chain and lower emissions.

The collaboration will focus on “enhancing the carbon tracking aspect of the PARIS software, to create ONE’s first landside GHG emission baseline”.

PARIS will assist ONE by planning and optimising collection and delivery bookings in real-time using available truck, rail and barge/feeder transport options.

The highly configurable software utilises advanced algorithms and parallel processing to provide optimised transport planning and features to effectively manage transport exceptions, reduce empty mileage and improve service performance.

The project commenced in early 2021 and from 2022, ONE will begin to collect emissions data from all landside container movements within the Europe and Africa region using the PARIS emissions algorithm.

For the first time, ONE has the ability to record all emissions arising from each leg of every container’s journey, whilst already choosing to opt for environmentally friendly barge and rail options where they exist.

Once the first full year’s data set is achieved through the 2022 baseline, ONE will define 2035 mid-term targets for emission reduction to support their further ambition to become carbon-neutral by 2050, for all Europe and Africa regional operations.
