Emissions management solutions provider OceanOpt recently announced a strategic partnership with Veracity by DNV, the maritime emissions cloud from classification society DNV.
The collaboration marked a step forward in addressing the complexities of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for shipping companies.
Through an API-backed data flow, vessel emissions verified by DNV’s Emissions Connect can be transferred into OceanOpt’s EU ETS portal, streamlining the allocation and reconciliation of EU Allowances (EUAs).
Anil Jacob, Managing Director of OceanOpt, said: “By connecting OceanOpt to the Veracity cloud we also integrate with DNV’s Emissions Connect, where customers can generate voyage statements for EU ETS.”
“With this at hand, our customers can meet the regulatory requirements in time, as well as comply with various charter party clauses. Our well-defined approach frees our customers from the burdens of data management and empowers them to focus on strategic growth.”
“Further on, OceanOpt’s data management service provides actionable insights for our clients to be able to significantly reduce carbon tax costs while ensuring regulatory compliance.”
Helge Bartels, COO, Bernhard Schulte, said: “OceanOpt provides the Berhard Schulte fleet with a customer-specific service package covering all IMO DCS and EU MRV reporting requirements.”
“When they now partner with Veracity and integrate with DNV’s Emissions Connect, we gain seamless access to verified emissions data from DNV inside the OceanOpt solution.”
“This provides us with a trusted baseline for our emissions management, aiming at reducing fuel consumption, improvingd CII-ratings, having full transparency and perfect argumentation towards owners, charterers, authorities, and other relevant stakeholders.”
“Not to the least, the tools for CII, EU ETS & Fuel EU help to identify necessary trade changes and related improvements.”
Mikkel Skou, Executive Director, Veracity by DNV, said: “We are pleased to welcome OceanOpt to Veracity by DNV’s network of integrated solution partners.”
“Their efforts to deliver timely and good quality data management for the Bernhard Schulte fleet is especially noteworthy, and we look forward to working with OceanOpt in helping our common customers obtain, manage and maximize the use of verified emissions data.”
