Maritime logistics ESG specialist MarinaChain has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with digital carbon management solution provider HanaLoop to support carbon management for clients across the shipping, logistics, heavy industry, and manufacturing sectors.

The partnership combines both companies' AI-powered digital solutions and climate regulatory compliance technologies. This integration helps businesses accurately calculate greenhouse gas emissions and build effective compliance frameworks for tightening domestic and international carbon regulations.

Under the agreement, MarinaChain will offer AI document automation, carbon accounting solutions, and compliance services for international carbon regulations (such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime) tailored to the shipping, port, heavy industry, and logistics sectors. HanaLoop will provide digital carbon management solutions focusing on K-ETS (Korea Emissions Trading Scheme), EU CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), and battery regulations across the non-ferrous metals, steel, and automotive industries to create operational synergies.

The two companies plan to collaborate on tailored carbon emissions management through integrated solutions, establishing Scope 3 standards specialized for maritime logistics, developing a maritime logistics Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework, conducting joint educational programs for corporations, and leading joint research for sustainable development in shipping and logistics.

"This agreement serves as a crucial stepping stone toward digital transformation and achieving carbon neutrality across shipping, logistics, and manufacturing," said a MarinaChain representative. "Through continuous technical collaboration, we will provide integrated solutions that proactively address evolving global ESG regulations."
