Memberships

One cannot achieve global sustainability alone, which is why we are a member of several large and accredited associations who pool resources and knowledge to accelerate achieving our common goals.

Clean Cargo Working Group

Clean Cargo members share a vision of a responsible shipping industry supporting clean oceans, healthy port communities, and global climate goals. Work Groups pursue this by measuring, reporting, and evaluating container transport performance data, sharing best practices, member engagement, catalysing partnership projects to drive sustainability and supporting responsible corporate engagement.

We participate in all these areas including regularly submitting our verified emissions information to the Smart Freight Centre (SFC). SFC manages the compilation of the data and the calculation of carrier-specific emissions performance report according to the Clean Cargo methods. Carrier specific emissions information is then made accessible to Clean Cargo shipper and forwarder members. Each year, global average emissions performance information is also made available publicly.

Getting to Zero Coalition

The Getting to Zero Coalition is an alliance of organizations within the maritime, energy, infrastructure, and finance sectors, supported by key governments and IGOs; committed to getting commercially viable deep sea zero emission vessels powered by zero emission fuels into operation by 2030 towards full decarbonization by 2050. X-Press Feeders joined the coalition because we recognise that our zero emissions depend on collaborations as critical to us achieving our goals.

Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping

In 2022, X-Press Feeders joined the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping as a Mission Ambassador. The Center is an independent foundation that enables and drives the decarbonization of the maritime industry through applied research, transition analytics and stakeholder activation. With this step, X-Press Feeders started to engage with Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping which contributes to research, innovation, development and implementation of new technologies and solutions. Zero Carbon Shipping is not an individual company’s effort, there is the need for collaboration and engagement across the industry, sharing of knowledge and best practices. 

Neptune Declaration

X-Press Feeders are the signatories to The Neptune Declaration on Seafarer Wellbeing and Crew Change. We recognize a shared responsibility is needed to ensure the crew change crisis, caused by covid, is resolved as soon as possible. And to use the learnings from the crisis as an opportunity to build a more resilient maritime supply chain.

Seafarers are cornerstone to the industry, and their wellbeing are of the utmost importance to us. We worked with industry stakeholders, organizations, and government to ensure that the seafarers were given priority access to Covid-19 vaccines, improved collaboration between ship operators and charterers to facilitate crew changes and ensure air connectivity between key maritime hubs for seafarers at a time the world was in varying states of ‘openness’.

Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN)

The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) is a global business network working towards the vision of a maritime industry free of corruption that enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large. Everyone in X-Press Feeders is expected to dutifully uphold these same goals and values, and support the aims of MACN. X-Press Feeders had proposed a campaign and MACN had suggested to turn it to an official MACN campaign. We are an active member, working with the MACN to make a difference and improve our own anti-corruption practices.

Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS)

The Cargo Incident Notification System (CINS) provides the means to which information on all cargo related incidents is shared amongst CINS members. The objective of this system is to analyse global operational information on all cargo and container related accidents, and highlight risks posed by certain cargoes and/or packing failures. Once areas of concern become apparent, they can be addressed to the relevant authorities to formulate appropriate recommendations or advice, such as amendments to the IMDG code.

World Shipping Council (WSC)

The World Shipping Council (WSC) is the primary industry trade association which represents the international liner shipping industry. The membership represents 90% of global liner shipping capacity, together, transporting about 60 percent of the value of global seaborne trade.

The focus areas of the WSC are sustainable shipping, safety, security, healthy competition, trade facilitation and customs. X-Press Feeders regularly attends council meetings and participates across the various working groups the council organizes to target the wide range of issues faced by the industry.

United for Wildlife Taskforces

United for Wildlife was founded by Prince William and The Royal Foundation in 2014 to protect endangered species from this abhorrent trade. At its core, United for Wildlife fosters global collaboration in the private sector to stop the trafficking of wildlife products. It does this through two Taskforces: a Financial Taskforce and a Transport Taskforce. These Taskforces bring together some of the world’s largest businesses in the transport and financial sectors to break the chains of the illegal wildlife trade.

By sharing knowledge and information across sectors and between countries, United for Wildlife is transforming illegal wildlife trade prevention and the prosecution of those who profit from these crimes. This unique collaborative approach has united international law enforcement agencies, non-governmental organisations, private and public sector, grassroots communities, and large corporations.

The Silk Alliance

Launched by The Lloyd’s Register Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and partners, to develop a Green Corridor Cluster beginning with intra-Asia container trade. To build a resilient, long-term, fleet-specific decarbonisation plan in collaboration with stakeholders from across the supply chain. Enable tangible commitments from selected stakeholders to invest in actions drawn out of the plan and build pilot demonstrations. X-Press Feeders and the other members will collaborate to send an aggregated demand signal for other stakeholders such as fuel providers, port operators and governments to support the Green Corridor Cluster.
