In these Terms and Conditions (as defined below) references to “we” or “us” means DP World Southampton.
1. Initiative
1.1 We are running an initiative (Initiative) whereby import laden containers (ILC) and export laden containers (ELC) at the port will be eligible to earn a carbon inset certificate, which will have a value depending on the quantity.
1.2 Customers moving cargo through DP World UK ports at Southampton and London Gateway will earn carbon inset certificates per eligible ILC or ELC, with the value of such certificates determined and communicated by us.
1.3 We are running this Initiative which can be extended or withdrawn at any time, and any insets/certificates earned will be provided as far as is feasible.
1.4 This Initiative will also include Container Terminal Inset Certificates (CTICs). CTICs reflect the carbon emission savings per container at DP World Southampton, compared to the GLEC standard.
1.5 You must voluntarily register to be eligible to earn the certificate, which will be at no extra cost to you.
2. How it works and our third party providers
2.1 In consideration of you signing up on the registration form, we shall work with our inter-affiliate company, those within our group or third party providers, to obtain further data on your behalf for the purposes of the Carbon Inset Programme, to be able to confirm the eligibility of the ILC or ELC to earn the certificate, and pass this on to you.
2.2 Some parts of the process are manual, and some rely on processes for the integration, extraction of data etc. using different electronic methods, to obtain the necessary data (e.g. EORI number) which may carry a risk of error in the upload and accuracy.
2.3 We do not create or process marine carbon inset certificates; we collaborate with Unifeeder, GreenBox, and Svitzer and the associated 123Carbon platform.
2.4 CTICs are created and processed by us, verified by Bureau Veritas and managed on the 123Carbon platform.
2.5 For ELCs, eligibility to receive carbon inset certificates is conditional upon export customs declarations being submitted via Community Network Systems (CNS) (a DP World company).
2.6 The data extraction is provided free of charge on the express knowledge and acceptance that there are no conditions, warranties, representations, or other terms (express or implied) whatsoever in relation to the Initiative or associated service required for the Initiative, the value, validity, eligibility, performance, timing including for the avoidance of doubt the allocation of certificate or issuance of the certificate, whatsoever, express or implied, or compliance with laws or regulations in your jurisdiction that are binding on us. We will not be liable for the upload of the data, risk free from inter-affiliates or third parties. Any condition, warranty, representation or other terms concerning the Initiative which might otherwise be implied or incorporated, whether by statute, common law or otherwise, is excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
