Ocean freight is becoming more sustainable
Maritime trade is growing. Massive cargo ships are used to transport increasing volumes of goods, requiring powerful engines. To reduce pollutants and protect the environment and human health, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced new regulations on January 1, 2020. These limit the sulfur content in marine fuels to a maximum of 0.5%. This is achieved either by equipping ships with emission-cleaning technology or by switching to alternative low-sulfur fuels.
KLG Europe continuously optimizes its processes to make transport as environmentally friendly and energy-efficient as possible. Our environmental and safety standards are outlined in our Code of Conduct.
Driving restrictions for ocean freight
Various European countries have specific laws and regulations regarding driving bans. These may apply on Sundays, public holidays, during extreme weather, or peak holiday seasons. Our overview includes general driving bans and public holidays. For other exceptional or current restrictions due to unforeseen circumstances, we keep our clients informed in real time.
