Energy company Gasum on Tuesday (25 February) has signed an agreement with DNV, whereby DNV will verify the accuracy of Gasum’s FuelEU Maritime pooling service.
DNV is the world’s leading classification society and a recognized advisor for the maritime industry, headquartered in Norway. Gasum and DNV have a long-standing relationship as Gasum has for years been using DNV’s Fuel Boss system for managing LNG deliveries.
Gasum will use DNV’s Emissions Connect tool to gather and validate consumption and emissions data in real time from all vessels in the pool. This requires the installation of a very simple and cost-effective plug and play device on board each vessel.
Additionally, DNV will, at the end of the year, verify the balance of the pool for EU reporting purposes. This is a new requirement that has risen as a result of the FuelEU Maritime regulation, and DNV is up to the task due to its long experience in similar verification processes.
DNV’s role extends only to the pool and all pool members can still continue using their preferred verifier for their vessels.
Jani Arala, Solution Lead at Gasum, said: “In managing a pooling service like this, data is critical. Everything comes down to the validity of the data we collect as it enables us to keep the pool tightly in balance at all times. DNV’s Emissions Connect is the most reliable and easy to use tool on the market for gathering the data. DNV is a fantastic collaborator for us for this brand new service, because the company is trusted by all players in the industry and we have a long history together.”
Helge Hermundsgård, Head of Sales Emissions Connect at DNV, said: “DNV is proud to support Gasum’s FuelEU Maritime pool with our Emissions Connect solution, enabling effective pool compliance management throughout the year.”
“With increasing regulatory pressure, shipowners need reliable data and transparent processes to navigate FuelEU Maritime requirements efficiently. We look forward to supporting this initiative and continuing to provide trusted solutions for a more sustainable maritime industry.”
