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.

My Trackings

The ShipsGo system creates a chronological order for all of your container tracking requests so that you can see your tracking requests listed on the dashboard.

Tracking Statistics

On Shipsgo Dashboard, the statistics of container trackings that you made will be displayed. Briefly, ShipsGo turns your container tracking into valuable statistics in your account. In this way, you can reach many statistics such as the import/export and cross trade rates, the rates of the shipping lines (carriers) you work with besides weekly, monthly, and annual rates of your shipments based on “TEU” and container count.

Sub Account Management

 ShipsGo users can create sub-accounts for their customers or branch offices. Sub-accounts can use the main features of the account such as container tracking, dashboard, and notification emails. The main account can access all shipping data and transactions of sub-accounts. However, the sub-account couldn’t reach any data or operation of the main account or other sub-accounts.

Tracking Email Customization

You can choose the design of the notification emails that you or your clients will receive.

ShipsGo Container Tracking API
