Searoutes Freight Emissions API

Searoutes SAS is a Marseille-based French company led by CEO Dr. Pierre Garreau that builds data and APIs for cargo owners, freight forwarders, vessel owners and logistics platforms. Its goal is to help them meet sustainability targets by replacing average emission factors with shipment-level data, since transport is a major part of Scope 3 emissions for shippers.

The Freight Emissions product calculates CO2e for ocean, road, air and rail shipments, including well-to-tank and tank-to-wake emissions, using carrier schedules, vessel-specific routes from historical AIS positions and CO2e intensity data. It also estimates EU ETS exposure per vessel to audit carrier surcharges by lane. Calculations are accredited by Smart Freight Centre under the GLEC Framework and ISO 14083, results can be exported as PDF certificates or embedded in customer tools through a REST API, and companion APIs cover ocean routing and vessel tracking. Users include Roquette and Maroc Fruit Board.

• Multimodal CO2e calculation: shipment-level emissions for ocean, road, air and rail.
• Full fuel life cycle: well-to-tank and tank-to-wake emissions with CO2e intensity.
• EU ETS exposure: per-vessel estimates to audit carrier surcharges by lane.
• Vessel-specific routing: routes based on historical AIS positions and carrier schedules.
• Certificates and dashboard: exportable PDF certificates and a web dashboard.
• REST API: emissions, ocean routing and vessel tracking endpoints with API key access.

A Vietnamese freight forwarder can embed the API in its quotation tool to show CO2e per booking for European customers. An exporter of seafood, furniture or garments can calculate audit-ready transport emissions for buyer reporting. A shipping line or port operator can compare vessel routes and estimate EU ETS costs on Asia to Europe lanes.

Shippers can audit EU ETS surcharges by lane and carrier; the company cites an analysis identifying 2.9 million US dollars across 34,882 TEUs. Vessel-level data supports greener carrier selection, which the company links to a 30% reduction, and its tendering solution to a 45% reduction. GLEC and ISO 14083 accreditation gives audit-ready Scope 3 transport figures, and Roquette used the API to obtain its FRET21 certification.

Shipping now falls under the EU ETS and ISO 14083 has become the reference for transport emissions, so shippers and forwarders need verifiable shipment-level data for Scope 3 reporting. Vietnam's export economy relies heavily on ocean freight to Europe and the US, making carbon data on sea lanes a growing request from overseas buyers.
