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.
