By GlobalDataFuelTrust chief product officer Darren Shelton said: “IOMSR recognises how advanced technologies such as ours can help its members reduce their carbon emissions, track fuel usage and monitor performance.”
From April, the Green Ship discount programmes can be accessed by the operators of cargo ships, commercial yachts or passenger ships using biofuel, alternative fuels, wind or shore-side energy technology.
The partnership will also work together to study methodologies to cut down greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by tracking emissions reductions from zero-carbon fuels.
IOMSR director Cameron Mitchell said: “Our collaboration with FuelTrust provides Isle of Man-registered ship operators and charterers the insights, expertise and transparency to assess the collective carbon output of their fleets and to manage compliance with emissions regulations.”
Last month, FuelTrust launched an AI-powered solution, called Carbon Baseline, for the assessment of GHG emissions.
