VPS, a digital decarbonization services provider to the offshore energy and shipping sectors, has entered a partner agreement with DNV’s maritime emissions cloud service, Veracity.
They plan to transfer validated and checked operational data compliant with new monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) data from VPS’ Maress system to the Veracity data platform. Here it will be connected to DNV's real-time data verification services.
The aim is to help clients simplify and ensure the quality of their emissions reporting.
The new MRV regulations, which will take effect on Jan. 1, 2025, extend to offshore vessels over 400 GT entering EU/EEA ports.
VPS’ Maress system for data-driven decarbonization features an MRV reporting module that is said to support data validation and checks, voyage validation and automated data transfer to Veracity by DNV.
Maress’ algorithms are designed to minimize the need for verification cycles and to speed up the compliance process. The vessel owner receives reports, including verified voyages that are ready for upload to Thetis MRV.
More than 600 offshore vessels (e.g., platform supply vessels, anchorhandling tug support and offshore construction vessels, and seismic acquisition and intervention vessels) have used Maress for fuel and emission monitoring, optimization and reporting.
About 300 of the vessels involved in the VPS summer campaign are said to have saved up to 28% emissions using the Maress dashboards for collaboration and monitoring of decarbonization.
