Compliance and Driving Decarbonization for Vessel New Builds

Redefining Vessel Standards at the New Build Stage

From tracking activity-based emissions during the new build stage to meeting industry standards and driving climate action, we empower you to lead the decarbonization of the maritime industry.

Our Solution

Our solution provides vessel owners and manufacturers with insights into shipbuilding processes, material assessments, certification requirements, ensuring compliance and leading the way to data-driven and transparent decarbonization in vessel new builds.

  • Documentation for Shipbuilding:

    Use key documents like weight estimates and technical reports to ensure accurate emissions tracking.

  • Detailed Insights into Vessel Components:

    Analyze vessel compartment, from hull materials to equipment, to optimize environmental performance during the manufacturing stage.

  • Assessment of Hazardous Materials and Compliance:

    Ensure compliance with safety and environmental standards using reports such as the Hazardous Substances Inventory (IHM), identifying risks and opportunities for material substitution.

  • Supply Chain and Certification Integration:

    Integrate supply chain data and certifications to meet regulations and improve the manufacturing process.

FAQ

What is a GHG baseline for vessel new builds?

A GHG baseline for vessel new builds focuses on quantifying greenhouse gas emissions during the manufacturing stage. This includes emissions from material sourcing, energy inputs, waste generation, and supplier activities, providing a foundation for understanding and reducing the environmental impact of the shipbuilding process.

Why is it important to calculate GHG emissions during the manufacturing stage?

Calculating GHG emissions during the manufacturing stage ensures transparency and accountability in the early phases of a vessel’s lifecycle. It helps shipbuilders and stakeholders identify emission hotspots, optimize processes, and align with regulatory requirements and climate goals right from the start.

What types of data are used to calculate a new build vessel’s GHG baseline?

To calculate GHG emissions during the building phase, key data is required on product composition (Lightship Weight and Bill of Materials), energy and waste (usage and generation during manufacturing), product distribution (supplier locations), and the assembling process (energy consumption, emissions, water usage, and waste). This information can be gathered by contacting the purchasing department, suppliers, sales teams, or the shipyard’s sustainability department.

How does a GHG baseline benefit shipowners and manufacturers beyond compliance?

Beyond regulatory alignment, a GHG baseline helps reduce costs through optimized fuel use, improves operational efficiency, and supports climate leadership by demonstrating transparency and commitment to decarbonization. It also strengthens stakeholder trust and positions vessels as leaders in sustainable shipping.
