Certification institute LRQA (formerly part of Lloyd’s Register) on Thursday (7 November) approved Shipping Technology’s carbon dioxide (CO2) Emission Reporting Module that calculates the CO2 emissions of inland navigation vessels and coasters.

Inland shipping entrepreneurs are now assured that the automatic emission reporting of the ‘Shipping Technology BRAIN’ meets ISO standards.

Industry standard ISO 14083 defines how to calculate CO2 emissions so that all companies in a production and transport chain use the same method.

But only if all partners in a chain calculate in the same way can anything meaningful be said about the emissions associated with delivering a product at the end of a chain.

Both the process of collecting the ship’s data (engines, generators, fuel, bow thrusters, boilers etc.) and the way the software calculates CO2 emissions per tonne of cargo transported per kilometre have been validated.

As such, shipowners and inland shipping companies can now provide verified emissions data to their customers and regulators at the push of a button – per voyage and/or per period.

“This is a big step for us. For our current customers, it now becomes even more interesting to use more functions of the ST BRAIN. The ST Brain is the hardware on which all our software modules run, such as autonomous lane assist, efficiency, incident reconstruction, safety and more,” said Shipping Technology CTO Tom Boerema.

“With this CO2 validation, you can clearly see the added value of the ST BRAIN, and LRQA’s validation also brings clear added value.

“It works like this: we install the ST BRAIN, a comprehensive ‘black box’ that collects data on the ship, engines, fuel, voyage, speed, arrival and departure times and more. That data is processed in such a way that it immediately provides useful data for a captain, shipowner, end-client or insurance company.

“To my knowledge, we are the only company in Europe that can immediately present a ship’s measured data in a usable, meaningful way and with a validated result!”
