Fundamental changes in the transportation and logistics industry demand that companies radically reinvent themselves to succeed. 369 Logistics Management teams help clients embrace digital innovation, restructure, and better serve their customers.

Defending against this industrywide transformation can seem impossible. By contrast, embracing transformation and outpacing it with a company-wide transformation of your own—opens possibilities for transportation and logistics companies.

Dynamics of Carbon Shipping

Carbon shipping is an emerging industry focused on transporting captured carbon dioxide (CO₂) from industrial facilities to storage or utilization sites, playing a crucial role in the global transition to a low-carbon future. By enabling the safe and efficient movement of CO₂, carbon shipping supports carbon capture and storage (CCS) initiatives, which are essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. The industry employs specialized vessels designed for the safe containment and transport of liquid CO₂, often integrating advanced monitoring systems to ensure environmental safety. As more nations adopt carbon reduction targets, carbon shipping is poised to become a vital link in the decarbonization value chain, fostering sustainable industrial practices and the development of a circular carbon economy.

Our Featured Tools and Solutions

Container XChange

This digital transportation marketplace, originally built by 369 Logistics, matches the supply of and demand for containers across competing providers. This tool helps clients reduce their costs and carbon intensity and increase their supply chain efficiency.

Shipping Benchmark Initiative

This initiative provides an easy way for shipping companies to compare their costs and performance with competitors across the industry. It uses data from more than 3,000 of the world’s commercial vessels to help companies improve their competitiveness, learn best practices, keep up with the latest industry trends, and educate stakeholders about the value they provide.

Our New ESG Playbook for Shipping

The shipping industry is responsible for 3% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions, but only 46% of the largest shipping companies have taken responsibility by committing to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets. That’s why 369 Logistics and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping have developed the new ESG Playbook for Shipping. Designed to help navigate the ESG landscape, this playbook describes tangible steps to help shipping companies set—and reach—ambitious ESG targets.
