Carbon Lens continuously evaluates and records the flow of emitted CO₂ from each stack of a vessel by factoring in its temperature and exhaust pressure.

The data can then be live-streamed from the vessel to designated recipients onshore.

According to KR, precise recorded and reported data can be instantly accessed by using the system, thereby providing a better option than the current best-guess techniques used by multiple emission reporting companies.

KR’s technical division executive vice-president Yeon Tae KIM said: “We are very pleased that Marine Technology Solutions chose KR as its preferred class partner for this interesting project, and we will continue to support the company by acting as a trustworthy technical advisor once the system is deployed onboard KR-classed vessels.”

“We believe that this direct and continuous emission monitoring system developed by Marine Technology Solutions offers a meaningful step to reducing the carbon footprint of the maritime industry.”

Last March, design engineering firm KMS EMEC secured approval in principle (AiP) from KR for an 8K ammonia bunkering vessel.
