Lowering emissions and improving resource usage on ships
3 ways how KROHNE can help improve your resource usage:
The maritime industry is facing increasingly stringent regulations, and optimising resource usage is key to achieving compliance. By adopting EcoMATE™, shipowners gain a complete picture of their resource usage, enabling them to make data-driven decisions that enhance efficiency while ensuring compliance with CII and other emission regulations.
Proč je to důležité?
The marine industry faces a significant challenge to meet decarbonisation targets. Ship managers and owners must prepare their vessels, especially those greater than 5,000 GT, for the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII). This involves annual performance grading based on reported IMO DCS data, with ships receiving a grade from A to E. To avoid penalties, vessels with a D or E rating must develop and have an optimised Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) approved by the end of 2022. This plan must outline how they will achieve CII targets and document compliance. The regulations will continue to become more stringent over time.
How does KROHNE’s EcoMATE™ help?
In the marine industry, improving resource usage and reducing emissions are essential steps toward meeting global decarbonisation targets. KROHNE’s EcoMATE™ solution provides shipowners and operators with the tools needed to enhance vessel performance while ensuring regulatory compliance. Here’s how KROHNE helps:
Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) dashboard
To help shipowners comply with IMO regulations, EcoMATE™ features a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) dashboard that provides an integrated overview of carbon emissions. The dashboard helps monitor and quantify emissions, ensuring compliance with CII regulations. By improving CII rankings, ship operators can achieve a more efficient fleet and reduce associated costs, ultimately lowering their environmental impact.
ShaPoLi module
EcoMATE™’s ShaPoLi (Shaft Power Limitation) module helps monitor and control shaft power, ensuring optimal energy efficiency on board. This module, compliant with IACS EEXI guidelines, includes bridge alarms to alert operators when limits are exceeded, allowing proactive adjustments. By effectively managing shaft power, ships can maintain efficient operations, minimise energy wastage, and contribute to emission reduction efforts.
Energy-efficient instruments
KROHNE’s energy-efficient instruments, such as the OPTIMASS Coriolis mass flowmeters, work seamlessly with EcoMATE™ to measure fuel consumption and monitor emissions accurately. These instruments contribute significantly to resource optimisation by improving the quality of data, allowing shipowners to make timely and informed decisions to reduce fuel usage and emissions. The integration of efficient hardware and software enables vessels to achieve better energy efficiency, supporting the goal of lower carbon intensity.
