Diesel particulate matter (DPM) remains down 87%, and sulfur oxides (SO x ) remain down 98%. The more cargo we move, the more CO 2 emissions we generate, and greater the need to switch to cleaner low-carbon based equipment, while continuing to optimize port operations. This is why cleaner technology and increased efficiency matter.
