Container IoT: creating a greener future for maritime
REPORT OVERVIEW
Key stats
  • Shipping generates about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions—a share that could rise to 10% by 2050 without action
  • One in three containers moves empty, wasting around 60 million trips each year and costing the industry up to $20 billion
  • IoT can reduce pre-trip inspections by up to 80%, saving both energy and cost
What you’ll learn
  • Container IoT can deliver immediate results by improving efficiency and asset utilisation 
  • Financiers and customers are demanding transparency 
  • How shippers can turn ESG compliance and emissions reporting into a competitive advantage
Real-world examples
  • Ikea, Michelin and Unilever aim to ship only on zero-carbon vessels by 2040. 
  • Amazon and Walmart require ESG data from their carriers. 
  • The IMO set a net-zero target for 2050 with checkpoints in 2030 and 2040.
