What are the differences between carbon offsetting and insetting?

With the Carbon Offsetting service offered by ShipsGo, a new perspective on sustainability has come into the marine logistics industry. So how does Carbon Offsetting work? The carbon emissions made by the company during the journey of the ship it is loading are calculated. In order to balance this Carbon produced, a project is selected, and this project is supported. These projects are presented with two types of offsetting scenarios. The first is “energy efficiency,” and the second is “reforestation.” You can see the details when you enter your dashboard in ShipsGo and click the “Green Future” button.

Another option that we call “insetting” as an alternative to the Carbon Offset option is used within logistics companies. Carbon insetting is when an organization invests in sustainable practices within its supply chain. Carbon insetting support the implementation of practices that sequester Carbon, promote climate resilience, protect biodiversity, and restore ecosystems. While purchasing a project from a certified institution in offsetting, the company produces projects in insetting itself and aims to reduce carbon emissions. That’s the basic difference between carbon offsetting and insetting.

There may be things you may wonder about carbon emissions. 👇

Unless you’re a chemist, it’s normal not to know what these gases are. Now, let’s make them understandable to everyone by addressing the environmental damage they cause. With the accumulation of carbon dioxide, the gas barrier surrounding our world increases, which causes global warming. With increasing temperatures, the climate balance changes, and drought occurs. We see the effect of carbon dioxide accumulation even in foods because drought affects many organisms. With our simple explanation, you can imagine how big an impact carbon dioxide emissions have. On the other hand, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur oxide diffuse as solid particles in the air and cause the ozone layer to be depleted. Depletion of the ozone layer means; It means that harmful rays from the sun directly affect our world.

The company now gives its services to more than 160 countries, with ambitions to make shipping better for BCOs, carriers, freight forwarders.

Launched on 11 March 2016, the idea behind ShipsGo was to achieve “ship together go better.” According to the CEO of the company, Merdan Erdogan, this paradigm is still valid.

ShipsGo increased the number of services in 2018. In the middle of 2018, the company launched a new dynamic algorithm “Octopus” based on the big data generated by the container shipping ecosystem movements. Since then, thanks to this unique algorithm, the company has started to introduce new services to provide cost optimization, fewer transshipment, and shorter transit times for all stakeholders in the shipping community.

Merdan Erdogan, CEO of ShipsGo, commented: “with ShipsGo, we are making what our industry needs; combining the industry knowledge with the technology. The adaptation of technology in the shipping industry needs special attention. Without understanding the industry structure and mechanism, you can not solve the problems of our partners with technology only. We have achieved a lot in the last three years, but the journey of ShipsGo is far from finished – our goals are still high. ”
