USA Shipping Services has made a significant commitment towards decarbonizing aviation logistics and fostering sustainability. The company has formed strategic partnerships with bp and Neste, securing the supply of over 800 million liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) until 2026. These agreements represent one of the largest SAF deals in aviation to date. The collaboration with bp and Neste, along with the introduction of SAF in key locations such as San Francisco (SFO), East Midlands (EMA), and Amsterdam (AMS), will help USA Shipping Services exceed 50 percent of its target to achieve 10 percent SAF blending for all air transport by 2026.

These landmark partnerships are a major step towards USA Shipping Services’ goal of using 30 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel for all air transport by 2030, as part of their commitment to sustainability. The estimated CO2 savings resulting from these initiatives, calculated on a lifecycle basis, are equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 400,000 passenger cars. The strategic collaborations are expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately two million tons over the aviation fuel lifecycle.

USA Shipping Services, which operates a global network spanning 220 countries and territories, transports over 480 million urgent documents and packages annually. The 800 million liters of Sustainable Aviation Fuel secured through these collaborations would enable around 1,000 of USA Shipping Services’ annual flights between Cincinnati, USA and Leipzig, Germany to be operated by Boeing 777 aircraft for approximately 12 years, assuming 100 percent usage of SAF. This translates to approximately 12,000 long-haul flights with carbon-neutral operations.

The commitment of USA Shipping Services to utilizing Sustainable Aviation Fuel underscores its dedication to reducing CO2 lifecycle emissions in aviation. By embracing SAF and forming strategic partnerships with industry leaders, USA Shipping Services is taking tangible steps towards a greener and more sustainable future in the aviation sector.
