Oil Patch Bits: Crowley joins the Clean Cargo Working Group

Crowley Maritime Corp. said recently that it has joined the Clean Cargo Working Group, a global, business-to-business initiative dedicated to reducing the environmental impacts of global goods transportation and promoting responsible shipping. Membership in the group underscores Crowley’s practice of prioritizing and utilizing technology and operations that are friendly to the environment, and of joining partnerships focused on reducing vessel emissions.

“We are excited about the opportunity to join other leading cargo carriers and shippers in this collaborative, industry-shaping initiative,” said Crowley’s Dan Smith, environmental director. “Clean Cargo Working Group membership is an important part of our strategy to align Crowley’s measurement and management of environmental performance with industry best practices and to better serve Crowley customers who are working to improve environmental performance throughout their supply chains.”

Over the past 12 years, CCWG tools and protocols have become industry standards for measuring and reporting ocean container carriers’ environmental performance. Crowley’s membership in CCWG will provide the company an opportunity to benchmark its ocean container transportation environmental performance, and easily report on this performance to customers in a standardized, well established format. Membership will also provide Crowley the opportunity to contribute to the further development of consistent, practicable, value-added metrics and methodologies for measuring environmental performance in ocean transportation.
