DP World extends carbon inset scheme

[ March 10, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

DP World is launching Insetify, a dedicated carbon inset trial for ocean freight forwarding customers in Belgium, Portugal and Sweden. It builds on DP World’s ongoing Carbon Inset Programme in the UK ports of Southampton and London Gateway, launched in January 2025.

From 1 April, credits will be applied automatically to customers booking ocean freight forwarding services with DP World in the three countries.

Qualifying customers will receive Carbon Inset Credits at 100 kg carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of containerised ocean freight per TEU shipped per quarter, at no additional cost. The offer applies once a threshold of 25 TEUs per quarter is reached.

Unlike traditional offsets which fund projects like tree planting, carbon insets reduce emissions within the value chain by using lower-carbon fuels or more efficient transport, helping customers tackle their Scope 3 emissions.
