HUTCHISON Ports Yantian was honoured with the 'Best Green Container Terminal' award for the fourth time in six years, at the 2024 Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards Ceremony.
Shenzhen's Yantian terminal, one of the world's largest, is dedicated to adopting environmentally friendly technologies such as electric rubber-tyred gantry cranes, LNG-driven tractors, electric vehicles and shore power supply.
In 2023, Yantian supplied to ships 12 million kWh, a national record volume of electricity to reduce 9,700 tonnes of carbon emissions during their berthing, equivalent to planting 540,000 trees.
As the pioneer in the large-scale provision of this service in China, Yantian has the largest shore power facility and the most covered berths. In 2024, the number of vessels connected with shore power at Yantian is twofold compared with the same period last year, setting a new record.
Besides barge services, sea-rail intermodal also cut carbon emissions by 90 per cent compared with trucking. This significant emission reduction partly drives the double-digit annual growth of sea-rail freight volume handled by Yantian in past five consecutive years.
'This award is testament to HPH Trust's commitment to using innovative energy-saving solutions to achieve carbon neutrality,' said hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPH Trust) CEO Ivor Chow.
'We announced a new target for a longer term and of higher magnitude, seeking to cut its carbon emissions intensity by 30 per cent between 2021 and 2030,' said Mr Chow.
'It is a recognition of Yantian's unwavering commitment to providing quality, efficient and environmentally friendly services,' Mr Shum said.
The AFLAS Awards hosted annually by Asia Cargo News. Nominees are judged based on leadership, consistency in service quality, innovation, customer orientation, and reliability.
