Shipping companies must ensure they have robust data collection and analysis processes in place, or risk being unable to meet internal and regulatory decarbonisation targets in time such are the findings of a recent industry poll posed by GreenSteam.
Who is Green steam?
GreenSteam has pioneered the benefits of AI technology for vessel optimisation. The company has discovered that improving data accuracy is the single most effective action unlock powerful vessel insights that can reduce fuel wastage.
IMO target
The introduction of the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy calls for a 70% reduction in carbon intensity and a 50% decrease in total annual emissions from international shipping by 2050 compared with 2008 levels. This has spurred a flurry of environmental activity across all sectors as first-movers reduce emissions and set targets for net zero emissions ahead of the IMO targets.
Poll conducted by Green steam
A poll posed by GreenSteam to around 200 attendees of the recent webinar, Analytics and advice using low frequency vessel data & data collection via seafarer apps, found that many shipping organisations are yet to firm up their emission reduction strategies. 15% of polled attendees admitted that they did not know where to start in order to reduce emissions, and 52% are still researching the best methods for meeting the IMO’s targets.
Advice given by Green steam
Simon Whitford, Chief Executive Officer, GreenSteam said, “GHG emissions accumulate and remain in the atmosphere for extended periods adding urgency to the many good steps that can be taken today. “
“Applying data intelligence to your fleet is the best way to collate and fully understand your fleet’s emissions profile.
Owners and operators who invest in advanced data analytics can identify those operational practices which are behind most of their emissions. This provides critical insights to inform effective emissions reduction strategies.”
