Well-to-Tank (WTT) emission intensity of freight. Published by the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting v3.1 edition revised and updated (2024). Retrieved from Table 14: Sea transport emission intensity values - Container Vessels. SFD is the shortest feasible distance and represents the shortest practical route between two places taking into account the real operating conditions. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.

Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission intensity of freight. Published by the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting v3.2 edition revised and updated (2025). Retrieved from Tables 18-19: Sea transport emission intensity values - Container vessels. SFD is the shortest feasible distance and represents the shortest practical route between two places taking into account the real operating conditions. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.

Emission intensity of freight - aggregate average trade lane factor. Published by the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting v3.1 edition revised and updated (2024). Retrieved from Table 14: Sea transport emission intensity values - Container Vessels. SFD is the shortest feasible distance and represents the shortest practical route between two places taking into account the real operating conditions. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.

Well-to-Wheel (WTW) emission intensity of freight. EF is used in cases where the origin destination pair is unknown. Published by the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting v3.0 edition revised and updated (2023). Retrieved from Table 16: Sea transport emission intensity values - Container Vessels. SFD is the shortest feasible distance and represents the shortest practical route between two places taking into account the real operating conditions. This factor has been calculated incorporating average loads/empty running/repositioning etc. as appropriate to the transport type and as described by the source.

Tank-to-Wheel (TTW) emission intensity of freight. Published by the Global Logistics Emissions Council Framework for Logistics Emissions Accounting and Reporting v3.1 edition revised and updated (2024).
