Yokohama to Manila freight CO2 emissions

One tonne of cargo shipped Yokohama (JPYOK) to Manila (PHMNL) by sea emits 22.5 kg CO2e well-to-wake at GLEC v3.2 default factors. The same tonne by air emits 2,550 kg — roughly 113x the sea number.

Lane noteJapan-Philippines feeder volume runs mostly for the Toyota and Honda parts pipelines; 4-5 day sailings. Manila North Harbor congestion adds 1-2 days at berth.

Mode comparison

On the Yokohama to Manila lane, air freight emits about 113 times more CO2e per tonne than sea freight at GLEC v3.2 defaults. The gap is driven by the WTW factor difference between long-haul belly cargo (850 g CO2e/tkm) and a Container ship 4,000-6,500 TEU (7.5 g CO2e/tkm), partly offset by the shorter great-circle air routing.
