A new research conducted by the University College London (UCL) has mapped where global shipping's greenhouse gas emissions occur, splitting each voyage into time spent in port and time spent at sea. IMAGE: NYK-operated PCTC receiving electricity directly from the shore power facility in the port of Zeebrugge. NYK Line UCL researchers have built an interactive tracker, mapping 1.2 million voyages that show island nations carry outsized port emissions. The tracker draws on a year of data covering voyages by more than 43,000 vessels, UCL said. The research found that around 10% of global maritime emissions occur within port areas, the university added. “The tool offers IMO delegations visibility on which of 575 million tonnes of CO2e [575 million mt of CO2 equivalent] emissions generated by international shipping can be attributed to their country’s economic activity,” the report noted. Seven out of the ten Caribbean, and eight out of the ten East Asia Pacific countries with the highest in-port emissions are small island nations, with emissions “often above 20%” relative to global and regional averages, research assistant at the UCL Shipping and Oceans Research Group Yoseph Ismail said. This share could be reduced through port electrification measures such as cold ironing at berth, switching to battery power while idling or manoeuvring in port, and converting short-sea vessels to battery-electric propulsion, UCL said. Shore-to-ship power or “cold ironing” is an electrical power supply provided to ships when they are docked at ports. Instead of running the engines onboard to power essential systems while docked at ports, shore power facilities allow ships to connect to the local electrical grid. The research comes on the heels of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) upcoming Net-Zero Framework (NZF) talks scheduled next week. Future updates to the tracker, due in September, will provide statistics on state-level seaborne trade volumes and estimates of the economic impact of proposed amendments to the IMO NZF framework, ahead of a potential adoption later this year.

AJOT Newsroom | Aug 27 2026 at 12:22 PM |Maritime Ahead of next week’s key meeting of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Clean Shipping Coalition is calling on member states to hold firm in their support for the Net-Zero Framework (NZF) - the UN shipping body’s long negotiated compromise climate agreement - in the face of “alternative proposals” that seek to undermine climate action by the shipping sector.“While less ambitious than we had hoped for, the NZF’s broad political support from member states means it remains the best tool available to meet the IMO’s Greenhouse Gas Strategy goals on climate, decarbonisation and a just and equitable energy transition for the shipping industry, and must be adopted by the IMO this December”, said Clean Shipping Coalition President Lukas Leppert. “The result of multiple rounds of negotiations, the NZF is already by any measure, an acceptable compromise. Any further weakening would lead to a less effective, slower, and costlier transition”.The shipping sector makes up 2-3% of global greenhouse gas emissions - comparable to the world’s fifth biggest emitting country, Japan. The IMO has committed to achieving its GHG Strategy goal, including its long-term goal of decarbonisation by 2050, its interim targets of a 30% reduction in absolute emissions by 2030 and 80% by 2040, and its commitment to a just and equitable transition.Discussions during ISWG-GHG 22 (Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships in London, 1-4 September) are expected to include IMO’s long negotiated compromise agreement, the Net-Zero Framework (NZF), and its proposed adoption at December’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 85/ES.2). Approved during MEPC 83 in 2025, the NZF includes a “global fuel standard” (GFS), which requires ship operators to gradually decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by shipping fuels - or pay penalties. The framework also introduces a mechanism that puts a price on a portion of greenhouse gases ships emit, giving the industry a clear financial incentive to reduce emissions in line with the global fuel standard. See also: IMO paper on the NZF - MEPC 85/3/8: Consideration And Adoption of Amendments to Mandatory Instruments: Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI.“Shipping is the backbone of the global economy, with estimates of shipping trade’s market value topping $14 trillion, but as it’s also a major source of climate pollution, heating up our ocean and our planet, it must be part of the solution”, said Delaine McCullough, Shipping Program Director at Ocean Conservancy. “As ocean temperatures hit record highs again this summer, increasing storm intensity and threatening marine life, food supplies, and coastal communities, there's no time for further delay in addressing the roughly one billion tons of carbon dioxide shipping spews into our atmosphere every year.”“It’s taken years of negotiating and compromise by IMO member states to get to the Net-Zero Framework (NZF)”, added McCullough. “It may not be perfect, but it has the elements needed to eliminate the global shipping industry's emissions by 2050 and help ensure that the countries facing the greatest climate risks with the least capacity to respond are not further harmed in the maritime energy transition. Adoption of the NZF ‘as is’ would be a huge step forward for our climate, communities, and ocean.”“The Clean Shipping Coalition cannot support any option that does not include a financial GHG emission penalty and fund”, said Sönke Diesener, Senior Policy Officer Maritime Transport at NABU. “These economic measures are essential for incentivizing emission reductions, supporting the uptake of zero-emission fuels and technologies as well as for ensuring a just and equitable transition. The sector requires clear regulatory directions for the transition and the IMO now has the opportunity to deliver global planning security for the ramp-up of sustainable solutions.”Further consideration of the development of the IMO Life Cycle GHG Assessment (LCA) framework which will determine well-to-wake emissions and sustainability criteria for global marine fuels is also included on the ISWG-GHG 22 agenda.“If the IMO gives an advantage to methane-based fuels such as LNG and biomethane, as current submissions to ISWG are calling for, this would lock in shipping emissions of methane, a super pollutant, for decades to come”, said Andrew Dumbrille, Co-Director, Equal Routes. “The LCA guidelines must include sustainability criteria that account for biodiversity and human rights impacts, real world emissions factors for methane-based fuels, and reflect GHG emissions of indirect land use change caused by production of biogenic fuels.”“With accelerated climate warming already driving devastating impacts around the world, such as record heatwaves, flooding, wildfires and droughts, there is no doubt that the industry must rapidly lower its greenhouse gas emissions”, said Anaïs Rios, Senior Shipping Policy Officer at Seas At Risk. “For the shipping sector, the question is no longer whether it needs to decarbonise, but how best to meet the goals of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) GHG (greenhouse gas) Strategy and to reach net zero by 2050. The industry must quickly evolve so that it acts as a shared good for people, rather than a key contributor to the climate crisis and the loss of health and livelihoods around the world. The best way to achieve this is for IMO member states to adopt the Net-Zero Framework in December.”Following widespread support for the NZF at MEPC 84 in May 20226, the Clean Shipping Coalition stated that “IMO’s Net-Zero Framework is back on track”, but that supporters must remain “vigilant and strong in order to parry inevitable future attacks and attempts to further delay the process of adoption, which is scheduled for early December”.Those threats have now materialized in the form of 'alternative' proposals from a number of IMO member states. Having analysed the available proposals, the Clean Shipping Coalition has found two of them particularly unfit for decarbonization: those submitted by Liberia and Japan. (The other proposals are covered in the notes below.)Liberia Instead of setting reduction targets on a path to net zero, the submission from Liberia - the world’s largest flag state - would allow ships to stick to conventional fuels if they think cleaner alternatives are too costly or unavailable.Additionally, Liberia’s proposal puts greater emphasis on trading of surplus units, while removing the idea of mandatory payments into a Net-Zero Fund. Without reduction targets or financial incentives, this would not cause a shift in the shipping sector beyond business-as-usual, while the lack of available funds would make it impossible to address disproportionately negative impacts on states.“By failing to ensure a just and equitable transition on top of its poor climate performance, the Clean Shipping Coalition finds that Liberia’s proposal constitutes a fundamental redesign which will fail to deliver on the goals set out in the 2023 IMO Greenhouse Gas Strategy”, said Leppert.Japan Japan's proposal would fundamentally fail to deliver on the goals set out in the GHG Strategy 2023. Japan has put forward a questionable alternative to compliance payments flowing into a centralized fund, which would allow shipowners to direct payments to projects of their own choice.“Without proper oversight from a governing board, and a clearer focus, the system proposed by Japan risks creating a scheme where money is invested into projects that do little to reduce emissions”, said Alex Springer, Interim Shipping Director at T&E. “Left to its own devices, the industry will continue its reliance on dead-end ‘solutions’ like fossil LNG or crop biofuels, for an expensive, long-term fossil lock-in. Real solutions such as e-fuels and electrification require investment certainty, long-term targets, and robust governance - all of which the proposal is lacking.”The Clean Shipping Coalition is calling for a central fund administered by the IMO or another independent body and sufficient contributions to ensure a just and equitable transition. In order to leave no one behind, states facing disproportionately negative impacts like small island developing states and least developed countries need financial support - which they made abundantly clear at previous negotiations. Japan's proposal would clearly fail to deliver, haemorrhaging support from one group of states in an attempt to appease another.Japan's proposal also carries serious procedural risks. As it was not circulated six months ahead of the meeting (as is the normal requirement), it cannot be adopted under normal rules at MEPC 85.The IMO already delayed its planned timetable of establishing a climate framework for global shipping in 2025, by adjourning MEPC ES.2 for a year. This delay has wasted time as the planet warms, emissions of greenhouse gases from global shipping continue unhindered, and delayed investments will lead to a hastier and in turn costlier transition. By diverting attention from circulated proposals the submission from Japan risks throwing the IMO further off-course, and would provoke a loss of trust in the organisation's capacity to police international shipping and deliver on its own goals.“Both the Liberia and Japan proposals are wrecking balls - aimed at the heart of shipping climate action, and will prevent necessary action, cause higher total costs, will not support a just and equitable transition, and ultimately will fail to meet the obligations the shipping sector faces”, said Leppert. “Both proposals are designed to placate those that do not think shipping climate action is needed, and serve only to undermine what has been achieved so far. Getting to the Net-Zero Framework is the result of multiple years of negotiations. The result is supported by a comprehensive impact assessment, and has the ability to deliver on the goals of the IMO GHG Strategy”.“Forget the distractions. Now is the moment for the IMO and all its member states to have the courage to protect and adopt the Net-Zero Framework ‘as is’”, concluded Leppert.

California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Baja California are coordinating plans for truck charging and hydrogen fueling from Canada to Mexico. Officials kick off the West Coast ZEV corridor at the Port of Long Beach. Calstart California, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, and Baja California are working together on a network of charging and hydrogen fueling stations intended to supportzero-emission truckstraveling the West Coast. Government leaders announced the British Columbia to Baja California ZEV Corridor, or BC2BC, Aug. 26 at the Port of Long Beach. The initiative would eventually allow battery-electric andhydrogen fuel-cell trucksto travel from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Baja California, Mexico, along a West Coast freight corridor centered on I-5 in the U.S. The initial buildout is expected to include 20 electric truck charging stations and three hydrogen fueling stations. Nearly 10,000 trucks travel the corridor on an average day. The five governments also committed to coordinating technical standards, infrastructure planning, and other requirements so trucks can use charging and fueling infrastructure across jurisdictions. “With global fuel prices driving up the cost of moving goods, partnerships like this are more critical than ever to strengthen our economies and advance Governor Newsom’s zero-emission transportation goals,” said California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin. For fleets, one of the biggest challenges in adopting zero-emission trucks for long-haul or regional operations is knowing that compatible charging or fueling will be available along the route. “Freight corridors are where electrification can deliver real operational value at scale,” said Aravind Kailas, advanced technology policy director at Volvo Group North America. “By aligningcharging infrastructure, technical standards, and planning across jurisdictions, the BC2BC initiative can give fleets greater confidence to plan routes, maintain uptime, and make long-term investment decisions,” he said. Volvo Group North America, Southern California Edison, Tesla, EV Realty, andKing Fio Truckingparticipated in the launch event. Zero-emission trucks from IMC Logistics and 4Gen Logistics were on display, along with trucks from Volvo, Tesla and ZM Trucks. The five participating governments issued a statement of principles outlining plans to coordinate infrastructure and technical requirements across the corridor. “The Port of the Future will need new, innovative technologies, energy sources, and sustainable practices to realize our goals of doubling our annual cargo volume to 20 million containers by 2050 and becoming the first zero-emission port in North America,” said Noel Hacegaba, CEO of the Port of Long Beach. 4Gen Logistics Accelerates Toward a Fully Zero-Emission Drayage Fleet He said the agreement could help provide the infrastructure support trucking companies need to move toward zero-emission trucks on major freight routes between Canada and Mexico. The BC2BC initiative is supported by the California State Transportation Agency, CALSTART/Drive to Zero and the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. The organizations are helping coordinate planning and investment. Following the August 26 launch, representatives from the five jurisdictions will hold technical meetings to coordinate standards, guidance and infrastructure planning. The project expands on California's existing efforts to develop zero-emission truck charging and fueling infrastructure along West Coast freight routes by extending that coordination across the Canadian and Mexican borders. The work also is expected to feed into the next edition of Caltrans'California-Baja California Border Master Plan, which will include plans for zero-emission vehicles and supporting infrastructure. BC2BC is part of the broaderGlobal Green Road Corridorsinitiative, which is working to develop lower-emission freight corridors connecting ports, logistics hubs and cities. Similar corridor projects are under development in Africa, Europe, the Americas and Asia.

A closer look at the Kenworth T880E’s range, charging, powertrain and upfit options — and where fleets are showing the most interest. HDT Truck Fleet Innovator Jennie Abarca is building confidence in fleet electrification one load at a time while openly sharing the challenges she encounters along the way as a small-fleet owner. The engine maker will gradually introduce its new Model Year 2027 diesel engines while continuing to offer current models during the transition, citing the EPA's proposed emissions rule changes. The proposal doesn't change the tougher NOx standard, but it would revise key implementation requirements that manufacturers say have driven up costs and complicated fleet purchasing decisions. Updated diesel engine software gives truck operators more time to address emissions-system issues while staying compliant with EPA emissions standards. Biodiesel can reduce emissions, improve fuel-system lubricity and use existing diesel infrastructure. But NACFE’s Messy Middle maintenance report says fleets must actively manage storage, cold-weather operation, filters and oil drain intervals to avoid problems. Drive sustainable cost savings while increasing driver comfort during short- and long-haul logistics operations. NACFE's latest Messy Middle Powertrain Service & Maintenance report says renewable diesel gives fleets an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions without changing trucks, fueling infrastructure or maintenance practices. But technicians still need to understand several important operational differences. NACFE’s new Messy Middle Powertrain Service & Maintenance report says keeping modern diesel engines running now depends as much on software, diagnostics and data as traditional mechanical service.

DP World has launched Latin America’s first shore power system at the Port of Callao, allowing container ships to switch off auxiliary engines while docked. Instead, compatible vessels can connect directly to 100% certified renewable electricity at the South Terminal. The system reduces fuel consumption, carbon emissions and local air pollution from ships while they are in port. The infrastructure forms part of DP World’s US$400 million Bicentennial Pier expansion. That development sits within approximately US$1 billion the company has invested in Peru. Callao is now DP World’s third terminal globally to offer shore power, following Prince Rupert and Vancouver in Canada. The company also plans to expand the technology across its European terminal network. DP World expects the Callao system to avoid more than 6,300 tonnes of CO₂e each year. That equates to an average reduction of about 30 tonnes per vessel call. Ships using the system can cut emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter from auxiliary engines by more than 90%. The infrastructure can supply up to 7.5 MVA to a vessel at berth. This is sufficient to serve the largest container ships calling at Callao at full load. Around 80% of vessels visiting Pier 3 are already equipped to connect. Four of the seven weekly vessels serving the Peru-Asia trade route are initially expected to use the system. The CMA CGM PLATINUM, a 13,100-TEU container vessel built in 2025, became the first ship to connect. The investment addresses an emissions source that has become increasingly important as ports electrify their own equipment. DP World found that vessel emissions at berth were nearly twice those from its terminal operations. According to a June 2026 white paper from maritime classification and assurance company DNV, only around 3% of ports worldwide currently offer shore power. Keiko Fujimori, President of Peru, said:“Today, from here (the Port of Callao), we are not only moving cargo; we are moving Peru toward the future. We’re talking about a technology that may seem simple but is of enormous importance, since only 3% of the world’s ports have this technology, and we’re proud that Peru is part of this group, serving as an example of environmental protection and modernization.” Peru’s government is positioning port modernization as both an environmental and economic priority. The Minister of Transport and Communications of Peru, Rafael Rey Rey, further explained:“The shore power system allows compatible ships to connect to the terminal’s electrical grid while docked, so they can shut down their auxiliary engines. This reduces fossil fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, in addition to lowering the noise levels associated with ship operations in port.” RELATED ARTICLE:DP World, AM Green Partner to Build Green Fuel Export Projects For shipping companies, shore power also offers a route to reduce direct Scope 1 emissions from fuel burned at berth. Carlos Merino, CEO of DP World in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, said:“Shore power is the next step in our decarbonization journey. We have transformed our own terminal operations through electrification and renewable energy, and now we are extending those benefits to our customers by helping vessels reduce emissions while at berth. This investment strengthens Peru’s competitiveness as a regional trade hub while supporting more sustainable global supply chains.” DP World has invested US$105 million in a broader decarbonization program at Callao. The program combines renewable energy procurement with the electrification of terminal equipment. Recent investments include 36 electric internal transfer vehicles and Latin America’s first dedicated port charging station for electric vehicles. DP World has also electrified nearly the terminal’s entire yard crane fleet. Together, the measures put Callao on track to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030. They also support DP World’s wider ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The investment comes as Callao expands its role in regional trade. In 2025, it became the first terminal on South America’s west coast to handle more than 2 million TEUs in a single year. For ports and shipping companies, the next challenge is increasingly shared. Electrifying terminals addresses only part of maritime logistics emissions. Cutting pollution from vessels while docked requires coordinated investment in port infrastructure, renewable electricity and compatible ships. Callao now provides a Latin American example of how those pieces can come together as trade hubs face growing pressure to combine capacity growth with lower-carbon operations.

With three decades under its belt, a giant gas project is getting a new lease of life, as the latest phase of its development begins production ahead of schedule, accelerating the delivery of 55 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas to Europe. TheTroll Aplatform in the North Sea is being supplied with additional gas, after production started from theTroll Phase 3 stage 2 subsea projecton August 22, 2026, helping maintain jobs, value creation, and high gas deliveries to Europe from the platform and the Kollsnes processing plant, which marks its 30th anniversary this year. The project was originally scheduled to come online towards the end of the year, and the cost estimate wasNOK 12.3 billion ($1.32 billion). This project accelerates production of 55 billion standard cubic meters of gas from theTroll Westreservoir, corresponding to nearly two years of France’s gas demand.

Giant North Sea field sets ‘historic’ gas production record Troll Phase 3 stage 2 builds on the subsea facilities from the Troll Phase 3 project, which came on stream in 2021, reusing design and standardized solutions to reduce execution time and costs, paving the way for future subsea developments. Troll Phase 3 stage 2 comes on stream just over two years after the partnership’s investment decision. Lill Harriet Brusdal, vice president for Troll and Kvitebjørn, commented:“Troll is the backbone of Norwegian gas exports to Europe. This project accelerates production from the reservoir, helping maintain today’s high level of gas exports from Troll and Kollsnes for as long as possible. With both Troll A and the Kollsnes gas plant powered by electricity from shore, the gas is produced with very low emissions.” The project’s eight-well drilling campaign was completed in five and a half months by Odfjell Drilling’sDeepsea Aberdeenrig, with services from SLB and Baker Hughes. Equinor emphasizes that templates and manifolds were built by Aker Solutions in Egersund for main supplier OneSubsea and installed on the field by Ocean Installer.

Two North Sea platforms plug into shore power as works on full electrification continue to take decarbonization up a notch The umbilical, supplied by OneSubsea in Moss, and the MEG line have been extended from the existing facilities. A 28-kilometer, 36-inch pipeline was installed by thePioneering Spiritvessel, and the line pipe was stored in Stord. Randaberg Industries delivered spools and pipeline end terminations, and Aker Solutions has carried out modifications on Troll A. According to the operator, the project has generated significant ripple effects in Norway, and its start-up helps maintain secure gas deliveries to Europe, jobs, and revenues for society. More than 90% of the profits from the Troll field go to the state through taxes and direct ownership in the field via Petoro. Trond Bokn, Senior Vice President for Project Development at Equinor, underlined:“We start production with excellent HSE results, ahead of schedule and several hundred million Norwegian kroner below the cost estimate. The main reasons are efficient marine operations and a highly efficient drilling campaign, which was completed 25 per cent faster than planned.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. $2 billion North Sea project unlocking new oil & gas barrels Equinor describes Troll as the cornerstone of Norwegian gas production, which contains around 40% of the gas reserves on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) and gas from this project meets around 10% of Europe’s demand, with the annual energy production from the field corresponding to three times Norway’s annual hydropower production. The company claims that Troll marks 30 years as Norway’s largest gas-producing field this year, with its enormous resource base making it necessary to plan development and production in three phases. While Phase 1 developed the gas inTroll East, resulting in Troll A, the Kollsnes gas plant, and associated infrastructure, Phase 2 brought online the oil in Troll West, adding theTroll BandCplatforms and corresponding infrastructure, with the oil sent to the oil terminal at Mongstad. Phase 3 produces the gas cap above the oil column in Troll West, while oil production continues as gas flows to Troll A and onward through existing infrastructure. This development is being carried out in several steps to ensure timely production of the gas resources in Troll West. Earlier this year, the partners also decided toproceed with the next phaseof the development through the Troll West Increased Gas Recovery North, or otherwise known as theTWIN project, which is expected to contribute around 11 billion standard cubic meters of gas.

The system will supply vessels with 100% renewable electricity and avoid more than 6,300 tonnes of CO₂e annually DP World Inaugurates Shore Power at the Port of Callao DP World Shore Power System at the Port of Callao CALLAO, Peru, Aug. 25, 2026(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)-- A new milestone in sustainable port operations has been reached at the Port of Callao, whereDP Worldhas launched Latin America's first shore power (Onshore Power Supply) system at its South Terminal in the Port of Callao, enabling ships to connect to 100% certified renewable electricity while at berth instead of operating auxiliary engines. Part of DP World's approximately US$1 billion investment in Peru, the shore power infrastructure was integrated into the company'sUS$400 million Bicentennial Pier expansion.Callao is DP World's third port terminal globally to offer shore power,joining Prince Rupert and Vancouver in Canada, as the company plans to expand the technology across its European port terminal network. The shore power system is expected to avoid more than 6,300 tonnes of CO₂e annually in Callao, or an average of 30 tonnes per vessel call. It will also reduce fuel consumption and emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides and particulate matter from auxiliary engines by more than 90% while vessels are connected. It can supply up to 7.5 MVA to a vessel at berth, sufficient to serve the largest container ships calling at Callao at full load. Approximately 80% of vessels calling Pier 3 are already equipped to use shore power, providing shipping lines with immediate access to the new infrastructure. Four of the seven weekly vessels serving the Peru–Asia trade route are initially expected to connect. The CMA CGM PLATINUM, a 13,100-TEU container vessel built in 2025, was the first ship to connect to the system. As Callao reduced emissions from terminal operations, DP World identified vessel emissions at berth as nearly twice as high, creating an opportunity to help customers reduce their Scope 1 emissions. Accordingto a June 2026 white paper by DNV, a global maritime classification and assurance company, only around 3% of ports worldwide offer shore power, placing Callao among a small group with this capability. Keiko Fujimori, President of Peru, said:"Today, from here (the Port of Callao), we are not only moving cargo; we are moving Peru toward the future. We're talking about a technology that may seem simple but is of enormous importance, since only 3% of the world's ports have this technology, and we're proud that Peru is part of this group, serving as an example of environmental protection and modernization." The Minister of Transport and Communications of Peru, Rafael Rey Rey,further explained: "The shore power system allows compatible ships to connect to the terminal's electrical grid while docked, so they can shut down their auxiliary engines. This reduces fossil fuel consumption and pollutant emissions, in addition to lowering the noise levels associated with ship operations in port." Carlos Merino, CEO of DP World in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, said: "Shore power is the next step in our decarbonization journey. We have transformed our own terminal operations through electrification and renewable energy, and now we are extending those benefits to our customers by helping vessels reduce emissions while at berth. This investment strengthens Peru's competitiveness as a regional trade hub while supporting more sustainable global supply chains." At Callao, the company has invested US$105 million in a broader decarbonization program that includes renewable energy and terminal electrification. Recent investments include 36 electric internal transfer vehicles (ITVs),Latin America's first dedicated port charging station for electric vehiclesand the electrification of nearly the terminal's entire yard crane fleet. Together, these initiatives put Callao on track to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2030, supporting DP World's global ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Beyond decarbonization, Callao's continued modernization is supporting Peru's growth and competitiveness. In 2025, it became the first terminal on South America's west coast to handlemore than 2 million TEUs in a single year, reinforcing its role as one of the region's leading trade gateways.
