Hapag-Lloyd deploys digital tools for cyber and decarbonisation compliance

Hapag-Lloyd relies on StormGeo’s s-Log and s-Insight to accurately monitor, report and validate (MRV) its GHG intensity for FuelEU Maritime compliance and all other GHG emissions-reduction schemes, such as EU’s emissions trading scheme and MRV, plus IMO’s data collection scheme, Carbon-Intensity Indicator and Environmental Ship Index.

To remain compliant, Hapag-Lloyd requires data reporting, validation and verification by its emission verifier, classification society DNV.

Up to 50 of the owner’s container ships are running on biofuels or blends, which means Hapag-Lloyd requires a robust biofuel-compliant reporting system that can align biofuel consumption data with the specific demands outlined in the new regulation. BioLNG and fatty acid methyl ester can reduce GHG emissions by up to 80% compared with conventional fuels.

“Solutions for environmental compliance have benefited us and the industry at large”

Hapag-Lloyd was the first shipowner to convert a large container ship to dual-fuel propulsion capable of using LNG. By the end of 2025, it will have a fleet of 13 LNG dual-fuel vessels in operation, thereby reducing CO2 emissions significantly.

“It is crucial for us to work with partners who share our commitment to drive the shipping industry toward a more sustainable future,” said Hapag-Lloyd director of fleet energy management, Heribert Riesenhuber.

“Solutions for environmental compliance have benefited us and the industry at large. We continue our work with StormGeo to advance our decarbonisation goals and tackle new reporting requirements, such as FuelEU Maritime.”

Hapag-Lloyd uses ship-to-shore data reporting tool s-Log and analysis program s-Insight to collect fuel consumption data and then runs strict validation rules to identify and flag any reporting errors, improve data quality and increase accuracy. The validated consumption data is then calculated into GHG intensity data, which can automatically be shared with all major emissions verifiers globally, including DNV, through application interfaces.
