Carbon Insettingfor Ocean Freight
Cut your shipping emissions inside the supply chain that moves your cargo, not outside it. Gateway insets with verified sustainable marine fuel through GoodShipping via Book and Claim. Real reductions in real vessels, documented per shipment.
Insetting, Not Offsetting
Ocean freight produces roughly 3% of global CO2 emissions. Offsetting pays for that footprint to be compensated somewhere else. Insetting removes it from the shipping system itself. Gateway offers insetting.
Carbon Insetting
What Gateway offers
- Reduces emissions inside the ocean freight system that moves your cargo
- Sustainable marine fuel physically replaces fossil fuel on working vessels
- Verified per shipment via Book and Claim, so nothing is counted twice
- Counts within your transport value chain for Scope 3 reporting
Carbon Offsetting
The old model
- Funds projects outside your supply chain, such as forestry or renewables
- Your freight burns the same fossil fuel it always did
- Credits are project-level and disconnected from your shipments
- Sits outside your value chain, so shipping emissions stay untouched
How Ship Green Works
From measured footprint to documented reduction in four steps.
Measure
Every Gateway quote includes your shipment's CO2e footprint, measured Well-to-Wake on the GLEC Framework using your route and container.
Choose Ship Green
Add the Ship Green option at booking. The exact insetting price for your measured tonnage is shown before you commit.
Fuel is bunkered
Verified sustainable marine fuel enters commercial vessels through the Book and Claim system, displacing fossil fuel in real ocean freight operations.
Reduction is documented
You receive documentation of the tonnes reduced, with traceability: GHG reduction percentage, vessel type, fuel feedstock, and bunker port.
Powered by GoodShipping
GoodShipping: carbon insetting for ocean freight via Book and Claim.
GoodShipping, a FincoEnergies brand, pioneered insetting for the maritime industry. When you ship green with Gateway, GoodShipping ensures verified sustainable marine fuel enters commercial vessels on your behalf, and the resulting reduction is registered to your shipment through the audited Book and Claim system.
- Sustainable marine fuel displacing fossil fuel in working vessels
- Audited Book and Claim registry, so every tonne is claimed exactly once
- Traceability on every reduction: GHG percentage, vessel type, feedstock, bunker port

Why Importers Choose Insetting
Decarbonization your auditors, customers, and buyers can actually verify.
Scope 3 relevance
Insetting lives inside your transport value chain, so the reduction is relevant to your freight emissions rather than compensating elsewhere.
Audit-ready documentation
Reduction records with fuel traceability support ESG disclosures, customer questionnaires, and sustainability reporting.
Meets buyer expectations
Retailers and enterprise buyers increasingly ask suppliers for real supply chain decarbonization, not purchased credits.
No operational change
Your routing, transit times, and carriers stay exactly the same. The reduction happens in the fuel system, not your schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about carbon insetting with Gateway
Carbon insetting means reducing emissions inside the value chain that actually moves your cargo. For ocean freight, that means verified sustainable marine fuel replacing fossil fuel on working container vessels. Instead of paying to compensate for emissions somewhere else, insetting cuts the emissions of the shipping system itself.
