A CONSORTIUM made up of many of the largest and best-known consumer brands is launching a request for proposals for zero-emission shipping services designed to accelerate the shipping industry's move to low carbon fuels.
They are seeking proposals for the transport of 600,000 containers over three years, which they believe will result in a reduction of nearly one million tonnes of carbon emissions, reports Fort Lauderdale's Maritime Executive.
Among the companies that have agreed to participate in the effort led by the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) are well-known consumer brands including Amazon, Electrolux, Ikea, and Philips.
The group also includes Bauhaus, Brooks Running, Chewy, Flexport, Green Worldwide Shipping, Levi Strauss & Co, Lululemon, Meta, Moose Toys, New Balance, Nike, Patagonia, Schneider Electric, Sport-Thieme and Tchibo.
