CBH and Blue Visby forge landmark partnership for sustainable shipping
18/12/2024
The CBH Group has marked a significant milestone in sustainable shipping by becoming the first global customer of the Blue Visby Solution.
The partnership follows CBH and Blue Visby’s successful trial in early 2024, which achieved significant carbon emissions reduction results of up to 28 per cent.
It signals Blue Visby’s transition from research and development into commercial deployment, setting the stage for an innovative approach to maritime transport that promises significant environmental and operational benefits.
The collaboration will initially involve a portion of this year's CBH Marketing & Trading shipments from Kwinana Grain Terminal, covering a variety of commodities.
By adopting the Blue Visby Solution, CBH aims to optimise shipping operations, reduce costs, and achieve measurable CO2 reductions. The partnership aligns closely with CBH’s broader sustainability goals, emphasising its commitment to minimising greenhouse gas emissions throughout its supply chain.
“We’re proud to be at the forefront of this initiative,” said CBH’s Head of Shipping Pia Van Wyngaard.
“Partnering with Blue Visby is a milestone in our ongoing commitment to sustainability, operational efficiency, and safety. This technology not only enhances our shipping processes but also reinforces our dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
The Blue Visby platform addresses one of shipping's most pressing challenges: reducing its substantial carbon inefficiencies by eradicating the industry practice of “Sail Fast, Then Wait”.
“The Blue Visby Solution was designed to address shipping’s single largest carbon inefficiency and deliver substantial greenhouse gas emissions reductions from today’s fleet, additional to any other energy efficiency device or measure,” said Christian Wounlund, CEO of Blue Visby.
The platform uses advanced technology to streamline operations, enhancing fuel efficiency and lowering emissions. This approach offers mutual benefits for CBH and vessel operators, reducing costs while improving environmental outcomes.
“Impact depends on commercial viability, and the partnership with CBH proves that Blue Visby has both the depth of experience and expertise but also the business maturity to be deployed commercially,” Mr Wounlund added.
“This important landmark was made possible thanks to exceptional dedication by the entire Blue Visby team and the unwavering support of CBH.”
For CBH, this partnership represents a significant step forward in its sustainability journey. By investing in cutting-edge technology to optimise maritime transport, CBH continues to lead by example, setting new standards for environmental responsibility in agricultural logistics.
