OVERVIEW

The ocean freight industry is at a climate crossroads

Maritime shipping is a crucial part of the supply chain, enabling 80% of total trade volume in physical goods worldwide. Due to the size and scale of these operations, vessels like container ships and tankers also account for 3% of global CO2 emissions.

While many carriers are investing in low-carbon fuels and energy-efficient vessels, the large-scale impact of these initiatives is years away. To achieve significant reductions on a larger scale—both short and long-term—the industry needs the right technology and partnerships to increase efficiency, sustainability, utilization and interoperability across the entire shipping value chain.

And that’s where Cognizant® can help.

THE CHALLENGE

Slow, costly decarbonization is a risk to long-term viability

25%

of the global fleet won’t meet minimum Carbon Intensity Ratings within 10 years

39%

CO2 yoy increase at the Port of L.A. due to congestion in 2021

$1 M

cost increase (per vessel, per year) to comply with EU emission trading protocols

THE SOLUTION

Insights that make a real impact—in real time

Our solution allows modern shipping companies an unprecedented level of insight and analysis across the entire shipping value chain. Together, we can help predict bottlenecks, identify low-performing nodes, assess future risk and more—all from one easy-to-use dashboard.
