Ocean Freight Carbon Trials
Dp World Launches an Freight Carbon Inset Trial to Reduce Emissions
Adam Harrie — March 18, 2026
An ocean freight carbon inset trial introduced by DP World, an international logistics company based in the UAE, is a system designed to reduce emissions across shipping supply chains. The program allows importers to receive carbon inset credits tied to measurable emission reductions when moving goods through DP World terminals.
Traditional carbon offsets usually support external projects, whereas DP World's program focuses on lowering emissions within a company's own logistics operations. The launch is part of DP World's wider goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 through lower-carbon logistics.
As companies look to reduce Scope 3 supply-chain emissions, initiatives like DP World’s demonstrate how logistics companies are developing tools to lower CO2 output across their global supply chains.
