•  Environmentally friendly shipping

  At American President Lines (APL), we are committed to achieving net-zero carbon by 2050. We were the first company in the world to retrofit all of our ships for cold-ironing technology using portside electricity instead of burning ship fuel.

APL has continued to advance toward its goal of carbon neutrality by using low-sulphur compliant fuel oil, exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) and by leveraging the extensive accomplishments in LNG, biofuels and other forms of alternative energy being made by parent company CMA CGM. As part of the Group, APL even offers innovative LNG and Biofuel products designed to help customers reduce and offset their own carbon footprints.
