Smart Freight Centre (SFC) and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping (MMMCZCS) are pleased to announce that SFC is joining MMMCZCS’s global network as a knowledge partner.
This collaboration is said to mark a significant step forward in advancing sustainability and decarbonisation across the maritime freight and logistics sector. By joining forces, SFC and MMMCZCS aim to combine expertise, resources, and networks to accelerate the development and adoption of new solutions. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to collaboration as a cornerstone of progress toward a zero-emission future.
Smart Freight Centre offers a range of solutions designed to support container and ro-ro carriers, forwarders, and shippers of all sizes on their journey toward decarbonisation in maritime programs, alongside similar efforts in other industries. With tools to enhance emissions performance, access to best practices, and resources for collaboration, these solutions are intended to help companies tackle the challenges of reducing their carbon footprint.
The partnership builds on a successful history of collaboration between the two organisations. SFC and MMMCZCS have worked together on initiatives such as the book & claim registry Katalist, which SFC helped pilot and is currently sitting on its expert committee. With this formal agreement, the partnership is now strengthened and structured to support deeper collaboration and broader impact across the maritime and wider logistics sectors.
Bo Cerup-Simonsen, MMMCZCZ CEO, said: “Partnerships are essential to making the green transition work. No single organisation can solve the climate challenge alone. We are excited to welcome Smart Freight Centre as our new Knowledge Partner. Their expertise and innovative solutions will be invaluable in our joint efforts to reduce emissions and promote sustainability in the maritime sector.”
SFC CEO Christoph Wolff added: “At Smart Freight Centre, we believe that systemic change in freight and logistics is only possible through strong, mission-aligned collaboration. Joining the MMMCZCS as a Knowledge Partner marks a natural evolution of our longstanding relationship. This partnership strengthens our joint ability to turn ambition into action, scaling real-world solutions that support the maritime industry’s transition to zero emissions.”
