Freight emissions
Carbon has a price. Averages have a cost.
Carriers price carbon based on fleet averages. Forwarders add a buffer. By the time the invoice reaches you, you're paying two to three times your actual exposure. Searoutes shows you the gap — shipment by shipment, carrier by carrier, lane by lane.GLEC + ISO 14083 certified
All modes — ocean · road · air · rail
EU ETS ready
Trusted by leading freight forwarders, carriers and cargo owners
Your carrier uses an average. Audit them.
Vessel-level ETS, not fleet averageYour carrier calculates ETS on fleet average emissions. Searoutes calculates it on the vessel that carried your cargo. The difference is your overcharge baseline.
Surcharge audit by laneCompare what each carrier charges against actual ETS exposure on that lane. Identify which carriers are charging a fair pass-through and which are not.
Portfolio exposure, not samplesRun the audit across your full shipment history. Quantify total ETS overcharge in dollars, by carrier, by lane, by quarter.
