I agree with your overall perspective on the need for alignment and joined up thinking. The CCWG is open to this and continues to encourage this debate – e.g we have a specific work stream that focuses on alignment, inviting the learning and sharing between initiatives as well as encouraging the alignment on methodology where relevant. To clarify your assessment of what CCWG provides – shipper members do get to see emissions on a vessel by vessel basis from carrier members submitting data. The general public does have access to average emissions factors on a trade lane basis that allows them to use such factors for their own carbon calculations. We have recently published a press release and report that provides this information for the past 3 years. CCWG is committed to working with other intiatives as well as global efforts to align where applicable methodologies and reporting principles for the good of increasing awareness on transport emissions, in order to deliver better environmental performance overtime.
