Swire Shipping launches Voyage to Zero carbon insetting program

In Fiji, Swire Shipping announced the launch of Voyage to Zero, a carbon insetting program that enables freight customers to reduce their Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, leveraging GHG savings from second generation biofuels used on any Swire Shipping vessel. The program was officially launched by Fiji’s Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Hon. Mosese Bulitavu, at a ceremony aboard the MV Apia Chief in Suva on Friday, 11 July 2025.

Carbon insetting allows companies to reduce their carbon footprint by investing in emissions reduction or carbon removal projects within their own value chain or sector. With Voyage to Zero, freight customers can purchase and claim GHG savings from second-generation biofuel voyages (through a book and claim chain of custody model), even if their cargoes are not transported on the same vessel. Emissions savings are calculated based on comparisons with reference fossil fuels on an energy equivalent basis, using independently verified data.
