ABS launches digital tool for sustainability

ABS Environmental Monitor aims to help shipowners achieve their sustainability goals through bringing together multiple data sources including vessel routing, waste stream, operations and emissions data to provide transparent reporting.

“ABS Environmental Monitor is the latest example of how we are applying digital technologies to assist operators in understanding how their assets may be affected by the rapidly evolving landscape of global environmental regulation,” commented Georgios Plevrakis, ABS director, global sustainability.

“A comprehensive solution to monitor sustainability related key performance indicators, ABS Environmental Monitor can help operators make data-informed decisions in light of these new, complex reporting schemes,” he added.

The new tool allows users to monitor and track overall fleet or vessel-specific environmental categories, view vessel emissions profiles, perform calculations in accordance with the Environmental Ship Index and Poseidon Principles, track key performance indicators, view scrubber system performance and view historical voyage data by fleet or vessel.

“ABS is a leader in both maritime sustainability and in the application of digital technologies for enhanced asset management,” said Kash Mahmood, ABS senior vice president, digital solutions.

“ABS Environmental Monitor brings these together to provide unprecedented levels of insight into the sustainability performance of an individual vessel or fleet,” he added.
