Core Features

Searoutes’ methodology, accredited by the Smart Freight Centre and GLEC-compliant, delivers high‑precision CO₂e emissions data across multiple transport modes using a mix of modeled, AIS-derived, and default data—designed for integration via APIs into freight, forwarding, and shipping systems. The Searoutes platform offers:

  • API‑first emissions reporting: The CO₂ API enables seamless integration of CO₂e measurement and reporting into existing logistics platforms, providing per-leg and per-order emissions data, with reliable uptime for operational needs.

  • Multimodal modeling precision: Emissions calculations span sea, air, road, rail, and inland waterways. The methodology leverages vessel-specific data, AIS trajectories, fuel types, trade-lane averages, and lifecycle emissions, all aligned to GLEC standards.

  • Advanced ocean routing logic: The Routing API computes accurate sea distances and transit times by accounting for traffic separation schemes, ECA/SECA zones, piracy areas, canals, and port entries—offering data crucial for both emissions and operational planning.

  • Vessel and AIS insights: Users can retrieve real-time and historical AIS data, vessel technical specs, traces, and speed profiles; these feed into more accurate emissions and routing models.

  • Strategic itinerary planning: APIs enable tendering teams to compare carriers and routes by CO₂e emissions, transit times, and distances—helping to identify greener and cost-effective options.

  • Shipment-level composability: The Shipment API (ISO‑14083 compliant) accepts detailed inputs—legs, modes, weights, container types—and returns breakdowns of total shipment emissions, emissions per order, per leg, and intensity metrics.

Closing Insights

Searoutes’ momentum reflects a clear focus on operationalizing compliant emissions data for logistics teams. Prominent users highlighted on its site include CEVA Logistics, Michelin, and BASF illustrating adoption across third-party logistics, manufacturing, and chemicals, with testimonials tying value to faster product development and carbon-aware decision-making.

Recent updates expand capability and coverage: ISO 14083 certification, Mediterranean ECA support across APIs, and new bulk and breakbulk emissions, alongside iterative improvements to ocean schedules, carrier benchmarks, and shipment reporting. An active changelog and API status page show a mature engineering practice that prioritizes reliability and transparency.

For potential users, the outlook is a dynamic dataset, deeper integrations, and tooling that shortens the distance between reporting and action, making it easier to compare services, plan alternatives, and track progress over time. This combination supports procurement, sustainability, and operations teams working in one cadence.

Freight forwarders, shippers, and solution providers are invited to book a demo and explore the possibilities offered by the Searoutes platform.
