According to the International Maritime Organisation, shipping emits approximately 1,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide each year, constituting 3 per cent of global CO² emissions - a figure that is expected to rise by up to 50 per cent by 2050 unless strict countermeasures are taken. Optimising the use of container space when transporting vehicles is a positive way to reduce emissions and, at Trans-Rak, we are committed to helping your business to improve its reputation for sustainable practices.
