Best Digital Solution Sustainability – Carbon Insight Suite Transportation

CarbonBank, developed by CarbonLeap, works by capturing the environmental benefit of sustainable fuels burned anywhere in the transport network and converting that benefit into Transport Impact Units, each representing one tonne of verified CO₂ reduction. Companies in the logistics chain can claim those units against their own transport activity, reducing their reported carbon footprint without changing their fleet, renegotiating contracts, or disrupting a single operation.

An independent auditor is built directly into the platform and verifies every reduction at the point it is recorded. CarbonBank then issues the customer a Carbon Abatement Statement, secured with a cryptographic hash and QR code, making every claim tamper-proof, publicly traceable, and independently verifiable.

As regulatory pressure across the sector intensifies, CarbonBank gives the breakbulk and project cargo industry the digital infrastructure to turn that pressure into verified, auditable action, starting today.

Central Barge is the independent digital hub of the European inland shipping sector. By transforming fragmented “analog” workflows into a unified data ecosystem, we address the industry’s most pressing challenges: inefficiency, lack of transparency, and carbon intensity. The platform centers on three core innovations: the Marktradar, the Digital Marketplace, and Private Networks.

Through Marktradar, we synthesize real-time AIS data and terminal intelligence from over 2,500 locations, providing users with unparalleled visibility into transport flows, terminal congestion, and ship availability. This data-driven approach directly enhances sustainability by drastically reducing empty sailing and optimizing “Just-in-Time” arrivals, preventing unnecessary fuel burn and emissions.

For skippers and charterers, the platform acts as a high-speed matchmaker, allowing for direct, commission-free ship-finding and freight negotiation. This transparency mitigates financial risks—such as demurrage and volatile freight rates—while empowering independent “owner-operators” with the same level of market intelligence as global logistics giants. Central Barge is not just a marketplace; it is a scalable, digital benchmark for a leaner, greener, and more resilient European waterway network. We turn raw maritime data into a sustainable competitive advantage.

HYUNDAI GLOVIS has established a long-term collaboration with The Ocean Cleanup to advance ocean sustainability through digital innovation, deploying the AI-driven Automated Debris Imaging System (ADIS) to enable scalable global monitoring of floating marine debris using commercial vessels.

By leveraging HYUNDAI GLOVIS’s global fleet as “vessels of opportunity,” ADIS seamlessly integrates AI-enabled debris detection into everyday maritime operations, automatically transmitting relevant data to onshore servers while minimizing operational impact on crews.

EmissionInsider, developed by PortXchange, addresses one of the most significant challenges in supply chain sustainability: enabling shippers to accurately measure and manage Scope 3 emissions.

For breakbulk shippers, Scope 3 emissions typically represent the majority of their carbon footprint, yet port-related emissions have historically been difficult to quantify due to fragmented and inconsistent data. EmissionInsider resolves this by enabling ports to provide accurate, standardised, and real-time emissions data across vessels, trucks, rail, and terminal operations.

This allows shippers to move beyond estimates and incorporate verified, activity-based data into their Scope 3 calculations, improving both the accuracy and credibility of their reporting. With greater visibility, shippers can identify emissions hotspots within their logistics chains and make informed decisions on routing, port selection, and operations to reduce their environmental impact.

At the same time, the platform creates a shared, consistent dataset across the port ecosystem, enabling better collaboration between ports, shippers, and logistics partners. This supports more coordinated and measurable emissions reductions across the value chain.
By turning fragmented emissions data into a reliable foundation for action, EmissionInsider enables more transparent reporting, stronger compliance, and meaningful progress towards supply chain decarbonisation.

AGNES is a specialized digital map and data platform for heavy and oversized transport in Germany. It combines infrastructure data, permit requirements, live traffic influences and route-specific operating conditions in one geoinformation system with more than 100 layers from authorities, research, logistics companies and 3D route scans. Improving sustainability by reducing detours, empty runs, idle time and inefficient planning, helping lower fuel use, CO2 emissions and traffic disruption.

Unlike standard mapping tools, AGNES integrates construction sites, bridge restrictions, port access data and transport requirements into one interface. Its Heatmap feature uses historical approvals and successfully driven routes to suggest practical transport options based on entered dimensions, while its transport-specific routing reflects real operational needs, including exceptional maneuvers.

AGNES Read complements the platform by converting complex German permit documents into concise, structured PDF summaries, making escort requirements and route obligations easier to understand.

Designed for dispatchers, drivers and authorities, AGNES improves usability by replacing fragmented workflows with one integrated system. It reduces planning risks, compliance failures and last-minute changes, while supporting safer, less stressful work. With nationwide coverage and scalable architecture, AGNES sets a strong benchmark for digital, efficient and sustainable heavy transport planning.

ZERO44 is a connected carbon compliance engine that helps maritime shipping companies turn emissions regulation into commercial advantage. By unifying vessel data, verifier outputs, charter terms, and Union Registry activity into a single daily-updated carbon ledger, ZERO44 replaces fragmented spreadsheet workflows with a governed system of record that technical, finance, and commercial teams can trust.

Its multi-regulation scenario engine models FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, and CII simultaneously, enabling operators to plan fuel mix, pooling, and biofuel blending strategies before costs lock in. The results are quantifiable: customers have achieved 58% cost savings per vessel through optimized biofuel decisions, in 2025 one third of all vessels on the ZERO44 platform used biofuels.

Contract-aware automation translates charter clauses and off-hire events into clear receivables and payables, reducing disputes and shortening settlement cycles. Stable API integrations mean customers go live in weeks without replacing existing systems.

Beyond the financials, ZERO44 embeds carbon literacy across organizations, freeing experienced teams from manual administrative tasks to focus on higher-value planning and decision making. With a modular, regulation-ready architecture and proven results across dry bulk and tanker segments, ZERO44 sets a scalable benchmark for the industry’s decarbonization journey.
