Rhenus and shipzero launch strategic partnership to scale Book and Claim across air, ocean and road transport

The Rhenus Group and leading emissions intelligence platform shipzero have announced a strategic partnership to scale the Book and Claim solution across air, ocean, and road transport. This collaboration aims to reduce the climate impact of global transport by offering alternative fuels and battery-electric vehicles, as well as supporting Smarter Freight (SMF) solutions.

As a multimodal logistics service provider, Rhenus relies on external transport capacity and utilizes the Book and Claim approach to support lower-emission transport solutions outside the physical transport chain of individual shipments. Through shipzero's auditable platform, companies can now book these alternative transport solutions more easily, reducing reliance on manual processes and data processing.

The partnership responds to growing industry demand, as Book and Claim has become an increasingly important tool for companies with limited control over physical assets. Adrian Wojnowski, Manager Sustainable Solutions & Decarbonisation at Rhenus, emphasized the importance of auditable Book and Claim accounting for credible decarbonisation efforts, particularly as more companies commit to Science Based Targets.

Rhenus chose shipzero as a partner due to its robust and auditable solution, multimodal coverage, and methodological alignment. Martin Jacobs, Director of Client Solutions at shipzero, expressed pride in Rhenus' trust in their platform to deliver audit-ready CO2 reduction tracking, aligned with ISO 14083 and the MBM Framework, down to the last detail.
