Maersk CO2 data verified    Maersk Line said it is the first shipping line to receive independent verification of its carbon dioxide emissions data, vessel by vessel.    The company said the


data, verified by Lloyd's Register, can be used by companies as an aid to measure and lower their “carbon footprint.”    The next challenge is to get other shipping lines to get


similar ratings and make independent verification an industry standard, said Jacob Sterling, head of climate and environment in Maersk Line.    'This will enable our customers to choose


shipping lines based on their environmental performance,' he said.
