Environmental Insights for Voyage Risk Management Unlocked

(HOUSTON) Global environmental insights driving more sustainable operations and proactive compliance management are now live on ABS My Digital Fleet™, after EMH Systems joined the Alliance Program.

Backed by a comprehensive global database of the most up-to-date regional and international environmental regulations, EMH Systems helps shipowners and operators better navigate and optimize the impacts of ever-changing environmental regulations on vessel operations.

Combining ABS My Digital FleetTM with EMH Systems’ advanced capabilities delivers visibility into waste stream restrictions and allowances, as well as detailed insight into all applicable regional and international regulations throughout a voyage. The approach unlocks the ability to manage operational risk through advanced route-planning and active monitoring of discharges based on geolocation to help minimize penalties and improve efficiency among even experienced crews.

ABS My Digital Fleet™ is the only customizable risk management platform that seamlessly integrates data to provide real-time insights for driving sustainable operations and reducing operational risks. The ABS My Digital FleetTM Alliance Program nurtures an ecosystem of industry-trusted intelligence and technology providers enabling integrated insights for clients on one unified platform.

“As vessels move around the globe, they navigate a constantly evolving landscape of environmental regulations where compliance is a moving target. While GHG reduction measures are at the forefront, it is equally important as acknowledged at MEPC 77 to focus on ballast water discharge, exhaust gas cleaning system discharge and marine plastic litter management to preserve our environmentally sensitive areas and protect aquatic life. ABS My Digital Fleet users are now able to take advantage of EMH Systems’ advanced capabilities to track environmental compliance requirements throughout the voyage. It’s a powerful advantage for any ship manager looking to support their crew to make informed decisions and drive more sustainable operations,” said Smarty Mathew John, ABS Vice President, Digital Solutions.

“As we look forward to the next generation in shipping of the maritime industry, it is clear the prevailing topics of importance are digitalization and environmental protection. ABS is a proven leader here and we couldn’t be more proud to work with them in achieving these advancements. Allowing vessels the insights necessary to understand their potential impact (at any given moment) is vital for conservation of the marine environment and essential for reducing risk of noncompliance,” said EMH Systems’ Christopher Nagy, Managing Partner.

Limassol, Cyprus and New York, NY – ChartWorld International and EMH Systems Ltd. are proud to
announce the innovative Environmental Compliance Assistance Platform (ECAP) planning service, which will enable enhanced voyage planning for environmental concerns.

The ECAP planning service will enable shipping companies and managers to have a far greater focus on environmental compliance as part of their voyage planning. Oliver Schwarz, ChartWorld’s Business Development Director noted the increasing importance of environmental considerations in voyage planning “Cargo owners, and end consumers, are demanding cleaner and more environmentally friendly shipping. This trend is with us, and shipping companies need to prove they are doing more than the bare minimum.”
In practice, using ECAP means a company or bridge team can use ChartWorld’s route appraisal platform (MyRA) to obtain an “Environmental Voyage Overview.” The ECAP platform, powered by EMH Systems Ltd.’s vast global regulatory database, allows for automatic analysis and environmental operation planning for any route within ChartWorld’s MyRA system.  As a MyRA integrated service, intelligence-driven environmental voyage plans will be automatically made available as early as the route creation stage.

Using this streamlined approach, vessel operators, shoreside managers, and onboard crew will have instant access to all regulatory conditions along their voyage – saving time, ensuring compliance, and improving operational efficiency. MyRA’s sophisticated approached to voyage planning, combined with ECAP’s algorithms and database, is a first of its kind solution for the industry.

“Efficient planning leads to efficient operations and an overall advantage over what was previously
common practice. We believe the ECAP and MyRA working together will be the new norm for any
environmentally conscious operator.” explains Schwarz.

Christopher Nagy, Managing Partner at EMH Systems, added, “Integrating with such a powerful voyage planning solution allows us to bring new opportunity to the industry. Every route is different. Every voyage is different. With numerous protected areas and complex national regulations in place, planning for a voyage can be cumbersome for even the most experienced professionals. Having this information automatically at your fingertips is an invaluable addition to standard voyage planning tools. Having such technology so easily available is something I could have only imagined while at sea.”
MyRA, combined with EMH Systems’ detailed compliance plans, provides ship operators and onboard personnel with the insight needed for a secure voyage from start to finish.

EMH Systems’ Environmental Compliance Assistance Platform (ECAP) software has been fully integrated into the full bridge simulator at the RTC-NVNA training center under an agreement to offer full-service training at the location. The RTC-NVNA training center is a fully certified and compliant operation located at the Naval Academy Varna. For more information on RTC-NVNA Research and Training Center please visit www.rtc-nvna.eu.

We’re very pleased to announce that EMH Systems Ltd is now working with IMETC to stream out our approach to the maritime market. IMETC is located in Edinburgh and it is specializing in dedicated courses and tailored on-site training.

We’re proud to announce we have joined Green Marine as a technical partner. Green Marine, a not-for-profit organization based in North America, has secured an excellent reputation throughout the maritime industry and around the globe.
