YM EcoSea+ Low-Carbon Shipping Toward Net-Zero future

What is YM EcoSea+?

YM EcoSea+ is Yang Ming Marine Transport’s low-carbon shipping service, designed to help reduce the carbon footprint of your cargo while working together toward the 2050 net-zero emissions goal.
Beyond fleet-wide energy-saving measures, Yang Ming operates a Smart Ship Center (SSC) that integrates a Green Shipping Monitoring Module and a Weather Navigation System to optimize sailing routes. The service also incorporates ISCC-certified sustainable biofuel and the use of shore power during port operations. Together, these initiatives enable smarter, more energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible shipping solutions—let us join hands to build a sustainable future.

Core Advantages of YM EcoSea+

• Certified Sustainable Biofuel：ISCC-certified B24–B30 biofuel is used.
• Reduced Carbon Emission：Compared with conventional marine fuels, our ISCC-certified biofuel blends achieves approximately 20% reduction in lifecycle (well-to-wake) carbon emissions.
• Internationally Aligned Methodologies：Emission reduction calculations follow recognized international sustainability certification frameworks and comply with EU RED II and GLEC (Global Logistics Emissions Council) guidelines, ensuring reliable and verifiable data to strengthen your sustainability strategies and ESG goals.
• Shared Emission Reduction Benefits：Yang Ming applies the Book & Claim system developed by Lloyd’s Register to allocate emissions reductions achieved through biofuel use. For every 1 metric ton of CO₂e reduced compared with conventional fuel, 1 carbon reduction unit (Token) is generated. These Tokens can be assigned to your cargo as measurable decarbonization benefits supporting transport emissions reporting and sustainability goals.
