AD Ports chooses RightShip emissions tool

MEP is a digital solution that combines automatic identification system vessel movement data with RightShip’s vessel insights, calculating ships’ emissions at berth and highlighting ways to reduce environmental impact.

Othman Al Khouri, executive director – corporate authority, AD Ports Group, said the company recognised the need for technology in reducing its carbon footprint. “By partnering with RightShip, we aim to leverage data-driven insights to identify areas with the highest potential for impact,” he said.

“Our comprehensive strategy addresses various aspects of our operations. With this approach, we are confident that we can reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.”

RightShip’s MEP uses an energy-based modelling approach, following the guidelines of UNEP and UNFCCC, to calculate vessel-based emissions.

Emissions are calculated across four operational modes, at specific points and against emissions targets defined by ports and displayed in a versatile digital tool.

“Our Maritime Emissions Portal is a critical and potent tool that can assist ports in developing effective decarbonisation strategies, thereby improving air quality in the local area,” said Andrew Roberts, executive director, EMEA, at RightShip.

“This partnership will support AD Ports Group with their emissions reduction strategy and significantly contributes to our mission of creating a zero-harm maritime industry.”
