Access accurate and compliant emission tracking, linked directly to your shipment data. We've partnered with Lune to provide emissions data to your shippers within Logixboard.

Our partner was audited & accredited by Smart Freight Centre, following the GLEC Framework, and compliant with ISO 14083.

🌟 This is a premium feature. If you wish to activate it, please reach out to your CSM or Account Manager.


CO2 Data Visibility

Once you purchase CO2 Emissions Tracking, we can set it up so it's automatically enabled for all customers (current and future), or you can enable it for specific shippers only.

Where to find CO2 data

As soon as we have the ATA for the final leg of the journey the CO2 emissions will be calculated (in tons). Until we have this information, it will display as pending.

Data will be displayed in the following places:

  • Shipment explorer page

  • Detailed shipment view

  • Analytics

CO2 Analytics

Aggregate CO2 reporting info is displayed on the Analytics page. The new Carbon Intensity Over Time graph shows CO2 emissions relative to weight and distance of shipments (gCO2/(t*km)).

CO2 calculations (in tons) are also now included in the Overview card, Transport Mode cards (e.g. Road, Air, Ocean FCL), Top Routes and Trade Lane By Metric cards.

Exporting the data

CO2 data can be exported to a CSV from the following places:

  • Carbon Intensity graph on Analytics page

  • CO2 calculations on Shipment Explorer table

  • CO2 calculations on Trade Lanes by Metric table on Analytics page


How we calculate the data

CO2 calculations are based on 3 key shipment details:

1. Transport mode

  • Sea, Air, Rail, or Road

    • For Sea, if CW1 specifies the IMO number in vessel details, the calculation is based on the specific vessel type.

πŸ’‘ For Air, Rail, and Road, the calculation is based on industry averages for plane, train, and truck types (per the GLEC framework).

2. Weight

This is based on Transport Packs in CW1 (Shipment > Packing Tab > Pack Row > Weight of Each Line Item). If there are no transport packs, it is based on the number of containers.

  • If there are no transport packs, it is based on gross cargo weight.

  • If there are no transport packs or gross cargo weight, it is based on the number of containers.

3. Distance

This is based on all available CW1 transport legs - from consols, declarations, and the shipment itself.

  • We also use the pickup and delivery address to create pickup and delivery legs that are included in the calculations.

In order for the CO2 calculation to populate, the ATA must be entered on the routing tab for the final transport leg.

All of this shipment information is used to perform the calculations following the GLEC framework. For more detailed information about the calculations, see CO2 Emission Calculations.


When we calculate the data

CO2 calculations are performed as soon as the ATA for the final leg of the route is entered. For Road shipments, the calculation is triggered by the Actual Delivery Time instead.

Please note that CO2 calculations are performed once and cannot be updated. All relevant data (mode, weight, legs, etc.) must be entered into the TMS before the actual arrival or delivery time is entered to ensure accurate calculations.
