Class collaboration enhances emissions data sharing and verification
China Classification Society is enhancing its emissions verification services through a partnership with a European provider of digital services as China plays an increasingly important role in transforming the global shipping industry
China Classification Society (CCS) has partnered with a European developer of digital and optimisation technologies to further its position in reducing emissions from the global shipping industry.
A subsidiary of Alfa Laval has joined forces with CCS as part of its drive to grow in China and provide better support to local shipping companies.
The partnership will enable emissions data to be shared directly, making it easier for ship operators, owners and managers to use CCS’s verification services as part of their compliance work.
StormGeo, which already supports around 700 vessels on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting and vessel performance in the Chinese market, has partnered with CCS to further strengthen its position in this growing market.
Shipping companies that use StormGeo’s s-Insight platform for environmental compliance can now share their validated emissions data directly with CCS through an application interface for verification.
StormGeo said the digital link helps improve data quality and traceability throughout the verification process.
For CCS, this deal provides a structured approach to receiving data from StormGeo’s software to improve the overall service delivery to shipping companies.
“Our partnership with StormGeo fits well with our ambition to build a digital and globally competitive classification society; and provides shipping companies with more convenient and efficient emissions verification services,” said CCS manager of software development, Wei Chong.
“StormGeo’s emission data collection software and data quality assurance services is mature and its adaptable to various vessel types, emission sources and fuel types,” he said.
Before introducing the application interface, CCS tested and evaluated the performance and security of StormGeo’s programs, ensuring they met the requirements CCS sets for interface adaptation and evaluation.
“We can deliver increasingly digital, integrated and automated solutions for data verification and environmental compliance,” said StormGeo chief commercial officer, Espen Martinsen.
“We are investing in our local capabilities, partnerships and technology. Our partnership with CCS is an important step in this long-term commitment.”
