CMA CGM and freight forwarder DSV have signed an agreement under which DSV will use CMA CGM’s ACT+ low‑carbon shipping solution to support a targeted reduction of 12,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions over two years.
according to reports, which reported the arrangement on 7 October 2026, the emissions savings are to be delivered through the use of low‑carbon fuels, specifically second‑generation UCOME‑based biofuels.
The target and timeframe
The companies have set a clear numerical objective: a 12,000‑tonne reduction in CO2 emissions to be realised across a two‑year period. The target is presented as the direct result of DSV’s use of CMA CGM’s ACT+ product and is described in the reporting as a fixed outcome of the agreement.
The fuel pathway
The report states that the emissions reductions will be achieved through the deployment of low‑carbon fuels, namely second‑generation UCOME‑based biofuels, which are cited by the firms as the mechanism for lowering greenhouse gas output. No additional mitigation measures or complementary technologies are detailed in the item supplied for verification.
The announcement was framed as a strengthening of the existing commercial relationship between CMA CGM and DSV, with the latter committing to procure capacity under the ACT+ scheme for the stated period. The agreement is described as an example of the two companies aligning purchasing and supply arrangements around a specified emissions outcome.
reports’s item sets out the principal elements of the arrangement but provides limited operational detail. It identifies the ACT+ offering and the use of second‑generation UCOME‑based biofuels as the means by which the reduction will be pursued, and it quantifies the scale and duration of the objective.
The report does not enumerate the trades, vessels, cargo types or routings included within the agreement, nor does it supply further contractual terms. It likewise does not include technical specifications for the fuels to be used, delivery schedules or the parties responsible for sourcing the biofuels, beyond the designation of second‑generation UCOME as the fuel category intended to deliver the reduction.
The item published on 7 October 2026 by reports presents the initiative as a joint commercial step to accelerate lower‑carbon shipping through CMA CGM’s ACT+ solution and DSV’s adoption of that offering. The reporting names the outcome, the timeline and the fuel pathway without additional operational elaboration.
