Siglar adds the last piece to charterers' carbon reporting puzzle

Many responsible dry bulk charterers measure and report emissions from their entire value chain. Reporting value chain emissions can be a puzzle, and chartering activities often represent a missing piece. Siglar keeps daily track of emissions from all shipping activities, regardless of ship type, size or freight contract, to help add that last piece to your puzzle.

New board members to support Siglar in a phase of growth

IMO raises awareness on the charterer's role in reducing emissions

During an IMO meeting last week member states agreed on a plan to facilitate the reduction of the carbon intensity of international shipping. A key point was the approval of operational ship performance requirements. The focus on operational performance targets the existing fleet, and it raises awareness on charterers' role in reducing shipping emissions.

Emission Schemes

Djibouti Sovereign Carbon Initiative

The Governments of Djibouti and Gabon have introduced sovereign carbon registry frameworks that apply a carbon cost to qualifying ship movements to and from their ports.

African Sovereign Carbon Initiatives: Countries Under Discussion

A growing number of African countries are in active discussion about introducing their own Sovereign Carbon Initiatives for maritime shipping, following the model pioneered by Djibouti (2023) and Gabon (2025). No schemes are yet in force in these countries, but the commercial direction of travel is clear: more African port calls are likely to carry a carbon cost in the coming years.

Türkiye Shipping Greenhouse Gas Emissions Fee

Türkiye has adopted a shipping-specific greenhouse gas fee intended to apply to greenhouse gas emissions from commercial ships calling at, or departing from, Turkish ports for cargo or passenger operations. The operational details are to be defined in secondary regulation that has not yet been published.
