By GlobalData“A comprehensive solution to monitor sustainability-related key performance indicators, ABS Environmental Monitor can help operators make data-informed decisions in light of these new, complex reporting schemes.”
The new technology will observe and track the entire fleet or vessel-specific environmental classifications such as emissions, waste, garbage, and consumables data.
ABS Environmental Monitor will keep a record of the emissions produced by the vessel, including the carbon intensity, emissions per transport, emissions per distance, and more.
The monitor will calculate according to the Environmental Ship Index and Poseidon Principles.
Furthermore, the digital solution will track key performance indicators (KPIs) on waste, garbage and consumables metrics, assess historical voyage data, and view scrubber system performance based on exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) reporting.
