The first sustainability data assessment tool of its type, RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal (MEP), is a proprietary product designed to support ports in reducing their emissions outputs through data-driven insights.
The MEP has been designed as a tool to support port operators to better and more accurately understand ship-based emissions and use that evidence to identify opportunities to reduce emissions. The tool combines sophisticated Automatic Identification System (AIS) movement data and RightShip’s unique vessel insight data, to identify problem areas and opportunities to reduce environmental impact.
Maritime Emissions Portal
We have used best practice guidelines to build and test this product which monitors all vessel types and operating modes. Port authorities can use it to manage their emissions inventory and air quality through heatmaps and filters including ship type, age, point of interest and emissions type. The detailed reporting provides users with a clear path to action.
FEATURES
Maritime Emissions Portal
Data solutions
Combining proprietary data from RightShip’s GHG Rating, including vessel specifications and additional energy saving equipment, with daily automatic vessel positioning data, the MEP gives you the full view of your port’s emissions profile
Heatmap technology
Using innovative heatmap and zoning technology the MEP provides a clear analysis of your environmental profile over any time frame, so you can make practical decisions and manage emissions
Bespoke project
The Maritime Emissions Portal can be set up for your port or for an individual terminal. Working with our team, you will be able to set up, monitor and analyse the pertinent information to make lasting advances in your emission management and reduction.
ADVANTAGES
Maritime Emissions Portal Advantages
Benchmarking
Benchmarking your current operations helps you to develop a feasible strategy to measure your impact and implement solutions. The MEP provides easy to understand metrics which can be used in internal reporting and emissions roadmap plans.
Reduction strategies
Combined with RightShip’s other products, such as vessel vetting as well as a Port Incentive Scheme, the port can start taking action towards lowering vessel emissions. Our team is on hand to provide guidance on how you can work towards your ESG targets.
Local community
The ability to track emissions from shipping through air quality data and make proactive changes will help you to work with industry bodies and regulators to create healthier, more resilient communities and protect the environment around your port
WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US
We’ve used RightShip to ensure the vessels we use are safe and environmentally sound, so it was a logical step to ask the team to help us measure our scope 3 emissions. Working with them is very straightforward and we are confident in the accuracy and reliability of the results. There are very few scope 3 data sources and, as far as we are aware, there is no other agency able to deliver this level of accuracy for ocean transport.
RightShip, the ship approval system used to verify vessel efficiency, has confirmed the fuel savings Odfjell has achieved using MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Kappel Propeller upgrade package. After the upgrade, the vessels are amongst the most energy efficient chemical tankers in the world, and achieve the highest score on the RightShip’s energy rating, A+.
Until 2016, our scope 3 emissions were estimated but that’s no longer good enough. We need to understand our emissions so we can benchmark them against other shippers and control them effectively. RightShip allows us to do that.
We’re proud to be accelerating the shipping industry’s movement toward greater efficiency and sustainability using RightShip’s GHG Emissions Rating. Since launching our Green Wave vessel incentive program in 2014, RightShip has been an exemplary qualifying measurement that has allowed vessel charterers and owners to take advantage of significant discounts to harbour dues at the Port of Prince Rupert. The support we have received through our partnership with RightShip has been integral to the success of our program. Our recognition of environmental performance is encouraging the adoption of similar practices across the global shipping industry.
By using more-efficient ships, we are gaining cost efficiencies and furthering our efforts to reduce Mosaic’s carbon footprint. Given the success of GHG Emissions Rating vetting, we are reviewing options to also exclude F-rated vessels. Emissions from shipping currently represent less than 5 percent of Mosaic’s carbon footprint.
