Yusen Logistics offers SAF option for customers via book-and-claim service

Yusen Logistics Co. Ltd. has started the Yusen Book-and-Claim service utilizing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for airfreight forwarding in April.

International air transportation accounts for 2 percent of all global greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions.

After committing to achieve net-zero GHG emissions for all services by 2050 as the group's environmental target, Yusen Logistics has been actively developing sustainable initiatives including the use of SAF.

Since the first SAF partnership in 2022, Yusen Logistics is launching its Yusen Book-and-Claim service to provide SAF option for customers.

Yusen Logistics said its mission is to become the world’s preferred supply-chain logistics company and to contribute to the sustainable development of business and society.

“With the growing global awareness of sustainability, we wish this Yusen Book-and-Claim add-on option, together with our airfreight service, will help our customers to grow sustainably,” the company stated. “More importantly, we wish to create an even larger global awareness of SAF and sustainability.”

The Yusen Book-and-Claim option is powered by some of the company’s global-partnership airlines.

“We aim to further expand this SAF network to cope with growing demand from our customers,” the company stated. “In addition, we are continuously refining the service to provide higher [added value] to our customers.”

Yusen was founded in 1955 and merged with NYK Logistics in 2010.

In 2018, Yusen Logistics became a wholly owned subsidiary of NYK.
