Shipping Has a Footprint.
We Deal With It Honestly.

Ocean freight produces roughly 3% of global CO2 emissions. Most of the industry answers that with vague pledges or offset credits bought far away from any vessel. Operation Green is Gateway's different answer: measure every shipment honestly, then cut emissions inside the freight system itself.

That is why we built a free emissions calculator anyone can use, put a measured CO2e figure on Gateway quotes, and partnered with FincoEnergies to make verified carbon insetting available on every ocean shipment we move.

The Core of Operation Green

Insetting, Not Offsetting

Offsetting pays for your footprint to be compensated somewhere else while your freight burns the same fuel it always did. Insetting replaces fossil fuel with verified sustainable marine fuel inside the ocean freight system, so the reduction happens where the emissions do.

1

Measure

Your shipment's CO2e footprint is calculated for your exact route and container, using Well-to-Wake methodology under the GLEC Framework.

2

Choose Ship Green

Add insetting at booking. The exact price for your measured tonnage is shown up front, before you commit.

3

Fuel is bunkered

Verified sustainable marine fuel enters commercial vessels through Book and Claim, displacing fossil fuel in real ocean freight operations.

4

Reduction documented

You receive the reduction record with traceability: GHG percentage, vessel type, fuel feedstock, and bunker port.

Making a Real Impact

Impact you cannot verify is just advertising. Every reduction Operation Green claims runs through measurement and an audited chain of custody, and every customer can see their own numbers: the footprint on the quote and the reduction on the record.

FincoEnergies

GoodShipping: carbon insetting for ocean freight via Book and Claim.

GoodShipping, a FincoEnergies brand, pioneered carbon insetting for the maritime industry.

U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership

Gateway Lines is a U.S. EPA SmartWay Transport Partner.

SmartWay is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's program for measuring, benchmarking and improving the efficiency and emissions of freight transportation. As a partner, Gateway reports its freight activity to the EPA and benchmarks its carbon performance against the industry, the same discipline behind the GLEC measurement we apply to every shipment.

About the SmartWay program

Measured First. Then Reduced.

That is the whole program. No purchased credits, no vague pledges. A measured footprint on every shipment, and a verified way to cut it inside the system that moves your cargo.
