Accurate CO2 Values

Obtain precise CO2 data to accompany your tracked container at the completion of its multimodal journey.

Comprehensive Emission Data

Even if there isn't enough data on the provided IMO, or if an incorrect IMO number is passed (or no IMO is provided), the system estimates CO2e emissions based on trade lanes using GLEC coefficients. The response includes Scope 3 emissions, encompassing CO2e Well-to-Wheels (WTW) emissions for the shortest route, with detailed breakdowns of emissions from main engines, auxiliary engines, and boilers.

Customization to meet the needs of your business

You can adjust the number and size of containers, even using non-integer values for accurate CO2 calculations, including LCL shipments. By default, emissions are returned for one TEU. If you don't know the number of containers, you can provide weight and/or volume data, and Vizion’s CO2 reporting will estimate the container count.

Changing Carrier Requirements Require Better Monitoring

The report empowers companies to prioritize decarbonization at the source and reduce emissions directly. Incorporate sustainability criteria into procurement processes, providing opportunities to significantly reduce the supply chain footprint.

Talk to an Expert

Shippers can evaluate the sustainability performance of their suppliers by assessing the sourcing practices, the environmental and social responsibilities of a supplier, and how a supplier is in compliance with industry sustainability standards.

Supplier diversity is an important KPI that procurement managers monitor. Having a more diverse supplier base can reduce transportation distances and empower more strategic decisions, by having access to more options.

The carbon footprint of a company’s freight procurement includes transportation for every shipment, across all carriers and modes of transport. The iterative process of measurement, goal setting, and monitoring progress gives procurement managers a clear path to reducing Scope 3 emissions.

Many sources of container tracking data are not updated frequently enough to be useful. Vizion's container trace data lets you track in real-time and at a granular level, so you can monitor your shipments and prepare logistically for their arrival.
