Abstract: This invention discloses methods, apparatus and systems for assessing an extent of green shipping activities practised by a shipping company. The invention is based on enquiring the shipping company with questions in the dimensions of Company Policy and Procedure, of Shipping Documentation, of Shipping Equipment, of Shipping Cooperation, of Shipping Materials, and of Shipping Design Compliance. These six dimensions constitute six dimensions empirically validated to be essential for assessing the extent of green shipping activities. After the shipping company gives the answers, the answers to questions of each dimension are processed to yield an intermediate result. The resultant six intermediate results are then processed to evaluate the extent of green shipping activities, in order that all the six dimensions are considered in assessing the extent of green shipping activities.
