Monjasa anuncia su expansión en Asia abriendo su primera locación permanente en China que, a partir de marzo de 2022, estará apoyando a sus oficinas de Singapur y Vietnam en Asia.

Se efectuaron cinco desde el puerto del Callao al terminal de Ilo, tres de San Juan de Marcona (Ica) a Ilo (Moquegua) y uno del Callao a Paita (Piura). Este año se han trasladado más de 18 734 toneladas métricas en granel líquido y 36 contenedores de 855 toneladas métricas. Esta nueva modalidad de transporte de carga es un servicio complementario y estratégico para las operaciones de comercio exterior y permite alcanzar una mejor competitividad en costos. Además, complementa al transporte terrestre y genera menor contaminación. También es amigable con el medio ambiente. En 2021, se realizaron 30 operaciones, la mayor de ellas desde el puerto del Callao a Paita e Ilo.

IATA Announces First Industry-developed Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology

23 marzo, 2022

Source: IATA The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced the launch of the IATA Recommended Practice Per-Passenger CO2 Calculation Methodology. IATA’s Methodology, using verified airline operational data, provides the most accurate calculation methodology for the industry to quantify CO2 emissions per passenger for a specific flight. As travelers, corporate travel managers, and travel agents are increasingly demanding precise flight CO2 emission information, an accurate and standardized calculation methodology is critical. This is particularly true in the corporate sector where such calculations are needed to underpin voluntary emissions reductions targets. “Airlines have worked together through IATA to develop an accurate and transparent methodology using verified airline operational data. This provides the most accurate CO2 calculation for organizations and individuals to make informed choices about flying sustainably. This includes decisions on investing in voluntary carbon offsetting or sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) use,” said Willie Walsh, IATA‘s Director General. IATA’s Methodology takes into account the following factors: Guidance on fuel measurement, aligned with the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Clearly defined scope to calculate CO2 emissions in relation to airlines’ flying activities Guidance on non-CO2 related emissions and Radiative Forcing Index (RFI) Weight based calculation principle: allocation of CO2
