include new specific and absolute targets to reduce emissions from Maersk’s own operations and across its supply chains. “The Science Based Targets initiative
represents the highest standard for corporate climate targets, and we are very proud to have obtained validation. We are committed to do our share to reach these targets, but we cannot do it alone. To succeed, we are dependent on and working with the ecosystem that we are part of, including customers, suppliers, industry peers and regulators. Importantly, there is a need for global regulations from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to close the price gap between fossil and green fuels to secure a level playing field,” said .Rabab Raafat Boulos, COO, A.P. Moller – Maersk.
Since 2019, the company has been committed to setting climate targets in line with science and guidance from SBTi, a widely recognized and adopted voluntary framework for corporate climate targets. When SBTi published the guidelines for the maritime transport sector in late 2022, Maersk subsequently submitted the near- and long-term targets to reach absolute reductions from a 2022 baseline. “These new targets are a proof-point
that even as a company in a hard–to-abate sector, it is possible to adopt ambitious science-based targets and get them validated. We know that delivering on them will be a very difficult task, however, setting ambitious targets, both near- and long-term, is critical to our energy transition efforts as they drive action to secure material impact in this decade,” added Morten Bo Christiansen, head, Energy Transition, A.P. Moller – Maersk.
CARGOSOFT Cargosoft has created a customized SCM/ TMS solutions for shippers, where industrial and commercial companies can digitally manage their international transport flows. “Diversification of procurement markets
and increasing supply chain disruptions have changed the demands on logistics and shipping managers. Digital solutions that allow booking and monitoring of transport orders with the various service providers, gain in importanc,” said Friedrich Schierenberg, MD, CargoSoft. The days when shippers bundled their

Maersk and the wider maritime sector
are working intensely to drive an effective implementation of the International Maritime Organization’s Greenhouse Gas Strategy. As green fuels come with a higher price than fossil fuels, a regulatory regime accelerating the energy transition of the sector and covering the majority of the cost gap for green fuels is paramount. In this context, Maersk, along with its industry peers in the World Shipping Council, will put forward a concrete green balance proposal at IMO MEPC81 addressing this. Today, almost 60% of Maersk’s top 200 customers have committed to or set science-based targets, including their supply chains. A Green Balance Mechanism for shipping will support their efforts to decarbonise their logistics supply chains as well as help the shipping industry reach net-zero emissions.

service providers’ themselves, who always need direct access to the transport status for production or
their own customers. “The CargoSoft TMS software, has
been developed as a customized and easy-to-install operational solution. Via SAP system connection, all relevant orders can be transferred directly to either the SCM or the TMS solution of CargoSoft, and status information can be
returned,“ added Schierenberg. Of particular interest to shippers are
CargoSoft’s international connections to other players in the air freight, sea freight and customs sectors. These include standardized interfaces to ports, transport companies, freight forwarders and tracking service providers. This networking is constantly being expanded. “By using WebCargo, the user can
request current prices from the airlines directly through CargoSoft TMS, place bookings and integrate the data into the order,” said Schierenberg and he has learnt that SMEs are looking for software solutions that can be implemented quickly and cost- effectively.
“This is the target group for our solution, which incorporates a great amount of logistics know-how and development expertise,“ he added.
It enables logistics and shipping managers to make their transport decisions on a solid basis from their own data sources without being dependent on third parties. In practice, this means that service providers and partners can be connected directly, which can then be selected depending on the relation, mode of transport and type of goods. Status information can be viewed in a pooled form, regardless of the linked data source from which it originates.
