China Merchants Energy Shipping (CMES), BHP and DNV have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on industry value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) management.
The agreement seeks to enable close cooperation between ship owner and charterer with the aim of achieving further energy efficiencies and GHG savings through improved voyage data collection, verification and sharing via DNV’s Veracity data platform in collaboration with the industry partners’ digital management systems.
As the maritime industry is undergoing major transformations driven by carbon emissions reduction and digitalisation, the signatories started the pilot project to focus on the exchange and analysis of quality-assured data from selected ships and voyages.
As reported by the companies, the first-ever Voyage GHG Verification Statement was issued by DNV as part of the pilot project, with the goal of establishing a trusted common source of data truth for use in various current or potential future business scenarios.
The news comes as DNV signed a MoU with the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) last September to explore opportunities to advance net-zero ambitions in Singapore’s maritime sector.
Research collaborations between DNV and SIT will focus on advancing zero-emission and autonomous ships; shore remote control and simulation centres; shore charging and future fuel bunkering infrastructure.
