Targeting a greener, more efficient containerised commodity supply chain

Fergus Eley, BHP’s Head of Maritime Enterprise, leading the charge for a greener, more efficient containerized supply chain. His focus on decarbonization, technology, and safety sets the course for a sustainable future. At the Container Shipping Conference 2022, he shared actionable insights to drive positive change in global logistics.

Fergus Eley, is a key player in BHP’s mission to make global shipping greener and more efficient. BHP is a giant company that moves lots of stuff worldwide, like copper and nickel, using huge ships. What’s exciting is that they’re making their ships more eco-friendly by using cleaner fuels such as natural gas and trying out green biofuels. They’re even looking into using wind power for their ships. What’s more, they’re using computer data to make smarter decisions that reduce pollution and make shipping more efficient. Think of BHP as a big captain steering the ship towards a cleaner and eco-friendly future for global trade, and Fergus Eley is leading the way.

BHP uses global shipping liners to move some 50,000 TEUs annually – shipping commodities such as copper, nickel and uranium to customers around the world, and importing all the goods and materials that our. Mining Assets require. More broadly BHP is one of the world’s largest dry bulk charterers, and our Maritime team works across all sectors of the maritime industry, including container freight
We are passionate about decarbonising the world’s maritime supply chains having recently procured 5 Newcastlemax LNG-fuelled bulkers, conducting biofuels trials with our industry partners, and investigating wind-assist technology on the fleet that moves our commodities
Out ambition is to build deep connections within the containerised freight ecosystem and along the end-toend commodity supply chain to target emissions reduction and efficiency improvements leveraging emerging technologies and solutions.
We believe that data-democritisation is a key enabler to decarbonising our end-to-end supply chains. We think about this in three areas – future fuels, onboard/supply chain innovations and our partnering/chartering choices
