ABS global sustainability director Georgios Plevrakis said: “ABS is leading the way in maritime sustainability. All of our insight and experience has gone into developing this digital solution to assist operators in understanding how their assets may be affected by the rapidly evolving landscape of global environmental regulation. These tools offer a new level of clarity and control over the environmental sustainability of Diana’s fleet.”

ABS Environmental Monitor observes and tracks overall fleet or ship-specific environmental categories such as waste, emissions, garbage, and consumables data.

It helps to view vessel emissions profile and carries out calculations according to the principles of Environmental Ship Index and Poseidon.

In addition, it also provides historical voyage data of the fleet or vessel, along with the scrubber system performance on the basis of exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) reporting.
