Concise Summary
The Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA), representing companies like Amazon, Meta, and Nike, has struck a deal with Hapag-Lloyd for "green" freight services.
The agreement will provide 1.15 billion TEU-miles/year of shipping using biomethane-fuelled vessels starting in 2025-26.
