EUROPE exceeding all known future environmental regulations but it has simultaneously increased the capacity meaning we maintain competitiveness in the shipping industry .
“ Within that investment , we ’ ll also be converting the road trucks to run on LNG and purchasing additional containers in anticipation of more cargo and therefore more customers on board . One by one we are letting go of these older conventional vessels . But at the same time this is a long-term investment that has also seen us reduce our carbon footprint by 25 percent , which we ’ re really pleased about .
“ So now we have the capacity , we have the energy efficiency , and we have the agility . Because we are still a fairly manageable size , we are able to offer one night deliveries which is obviously hugely beneficial to the customer .”
Some major customers and partners include consumer goods companies such as Proctor & Gamble and Unilever , as well as famous Scotch whisky brands from Diageo . Containerships also transports a considerable amount of IKEA products within Northern European regions . Most of these products are being exported from Western Europe into Russia , and the company is able to handle everything from customs clearance of import and export cargo and the paperwork for reimport procedures for arrival and / or departure by sea or truck . Another added benefit is the fact there are no third parties involved for any of these companies .
“ This investment project improves our vessel efficiency not only by exceeding all known future environmental regulations but it has simultaneously increased the capacity meaning we maintain competitiveness in the shipping industry ”
