The emissions of yard tractors and handling gearblur in the hub calculation.
A shipper with port operations has asked to calculate the hub-leg emissions, too.
- Port equipment lumped into an average
- No split between yard tractors and reach stackers
- Hub emission category left out
- Unclear boundary between drayage and yard
- Port equipment measured for actual fuel by DTG
- Equipment and drayage separated by leg
- Calculated under the ISO 14083 hub category
- Clean yard-versus-road boundary allocation

Yard equipment measured too — filling the ISO 14083 hub emissions.
The supply chain changes when shippers demand the carbon data.
Most transport emissions come from vehicles the shipper never drives. That data only turns from estimate to measurement when the shipper asks for it as a term of business.
Draw the boundary at paid freight
Only transport you paid a freight charge for is the correct boundary for a shipper's Scope 3 report. LCS draws that boundary cleanly — no gaps, no double counting.
Classify by measurement, not estimation
Instead of average factors, we use data measured directly at the vehicle, classified precisely by transport mode and leg. A single ISO 14083 method that passes verification.
Require it of subcontractors
When a shipper requires measured data as a term of contract, the whole supply chain shifts from estimate to measurement. The request is where change begins.
Don't make the ask alone.
As your partner, LCS gives you the grounds to require data from subcontractors — and gives them the tools to respond. We build the bridge to measurement between the shipper who asks and the carrier who answers.
The questions this industry asks most.
How are port logistics emissions calculated under ISO 14083?
ISO 14083 calculates hub emissions — such as a port — as a category separate from the transport legs. LCS measures the actual fuel of port equipment like yard tractors and reach stackers with DTG, filling the hub emissions precisely.
Why is calculating port equipment with an average inaccurate?
Port equipment cycles through waiting, loading, and moving, so its duty pattern varies widely and an average drifts from actual fuel. Yard tractors and reach stackers also differ in emission profile and need to be separated. Only measurement captures the real per-equipment emissions.
What does LCS measure versus standard-calculate for port logistics?
Port equipment and drayage vehicles are measured for actual fuel at 1-second resolution by DTG. Parts that are hard to measure, such as fixed electric installations, are calculated under the ISO 14083 hub category, consolidating the whole yard into one figure.
How do we get port equipment emission data?
Install DTG on equipment like yard tractors and reach stackers to measure actual fuel, and Cloud calculates it under the ISO 14083 hub category. That data becomes essential when a shipper puts the hub leg in scope.
