Bureau Veritas Teams Up with OrbitMI to Help Ships Reduce Emissions and Follow Rules

Bureau Veritas Partners with OrbitMI to Simplify Ship Emissions Reporting and Cut Pollution

Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore (BV), a global testing, inspection, and certification expert, has partnered with OrbitMI to help ships reduce their emissions and meet environmental rules more easily. They combined BV’s advanced emissions platform, called VeriSTAR Green, with OrbitMI’s smart shipping platform. This partnership aims to make it easier for shipowners and operators to follow complex emissions rules and improve how they care for the environment.

What Does This New Partnership Mean?

Ships need to report their emissions regularly, but the process can be complicated and time-consuming. BV and OrbitMI are solving this problem by creating an easy-to-use platform that saves time and reduces costs. It helps shipowners follow strict global rules about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and avoid expensive penalties. With this new system, ship operators can focus on cutting pollution instead of worrying about paperwork.

The combined platform was tested with a shipping company called Unitized Ocean Transport Limited. The test was successful and showed how technology can help the shipping industry become greener and more efficient.

A Powerful Cloud-Based Tool

VeriSTAR Green is a cloud-based platform, meaning it works online and stores data safely. It automatically collects emissions data from ships and checks that it meets important international rules, such as those set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and regulations like the UK-MRV and European Union Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS). The system makes sure that emissions data is accurate and reported on time.

By working with OrbitMI, VeriSTAR Green can transfer data in real time. This means there is less need for manual work, and the information collected is more reliable. The system is flexible, so it can be adjusted to fit the needs of different ships, making it a great option for any shipping company.

Improving Ship Operations

This new platform also helps improve how ships operate by giving shipowners real-time information. It can help shipowners and operators monitor their emissions and see how they can cut pollution even further. The goal is to help the shipping industry reduce greenhouse gases and meet strict global rules on pollution. By making the process of reporting easier and more accurate, it ensures ships stay compliant with the law while improving overall efficiency.

The successful test with Unitized Ocean Transport Limited shows that this system works well and can make a big difference for the maritime industry.
