One Year of 100% Electric: The Actual Carbon Savings for Our Clients

Exactly one year ago, Hui Long Enterprise (HLE) made a decision that many in the logistics industry thought was risky: We retired our diesel fleet and went 100% Electric.

We didn't do it just for the "Green Mark" sticker on our office door. We did it because our clients—Ship Owners, Managers, and Agents—were facing a new reality: Scope 3 Emissions Reporting.

If you are a Superintendent or Crew Manager, you know the pressure. Your company has Net Zero targets. You are tracking fuel consumption onboard, but what about the logistics getting the crew to the ship? That is your Scope 3 (Supply Chain) footprint.

After 12 months of operations, the data is in. Here is exactly what our switch to electric means for your carbon audit.

The Math: Diesel vs. Electric on a Standard Transfer

Let’s look at a typical crew transfer: Changi Airport to Marina South Pier (approx. 20km).

  • The Old Way (Diesel Van):

    • Avg. consumption: 10km/liter.

    • Diesel burnt: 2 liters.

    • CO2 Emitted: ~5.4 kg per trip (2.7kg CO2 per liter of diesel).

  • The HLE Way (BYD Electric Van):

    • Tailpipe Emissions: 0 kg.

    • Grid Emissions (Singapore Natural Gas mix): ~0.8 kg per trip.

The Savings: By choosing HLE, you save 4.6 kg of CO2 on a single airport transfer.

Multiply that by a full crew change (15-20 trips), and you are preventing nearly 100 kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere—equivalent to driving a petrol car from Singapore to KL.

Why This Matters for Your Annual Report

In 2026, "Greenwashing" is out. "Data-backed auditing" is in.

When you use a standard transport vendor, that 5.4 kg of CO2 per trip sits on your books as a Scope 3 emission.

When you book with HLE, you get more than just a ride. You get a decarbonization partner.

  • Traceable Data: Our Order Management System (OMS) doesn't just track time; it tracks mileage. We can provide data on the distance covered for your crew, allowing your sustainability team to calculate the exact carbon offset.

  • Compliance Ready: As Singapore moves toward the "Green Plan 2030," ports and terminals will favor low-carbon operators. You are future-proofing your supply chain.

The "Hidden" Benefit: Seafarer Fatigue

Sustainability isn't just about carbon; it's about people (the "S" in ESG).

One unexpected piece of feedback we received this year came directly from the crew: "It's so quiet."

  • Diesel Vans: Vibrations, engine noise, smell of exhaust fumes.

  • HLE Electric Fleet: Silent, smooth, odorless.For a seafarer who has just flown 14 hours, that silence is luxury. It reduces sensory overload and helps them arrive at the vessel calmer and more rested.
