RightShip says an Australian manufacturer and charterer is using carbon offsets as a way to mitigate the greenhouse gas impact of its shipping activities.
Incitec Pivot, a manufacturer of fertilisers and other chemicals, is purchasing carbon credits from trading platform CBL Markets. The credits have offset 73,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in each of the last two years.
Incitec charters about 200 vessels per year.
