Fleettracker to provide event- and BDN-based reporting for DNV Emission Connect

It’s a bit like a launch of a new vessel. The hull is fully painted, the ship’s superstructure is in place, the engine is installed. The ship is in the water, all good. But before it can get underway, the ship goes to the quay, and now the 1,000 little details that are essential for daily operations still need to be taken care of. Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard to take Fleettracker to the next level, addressing the various regulations surrounding CO2 and greenhouse gases. We’ve implemented new, event-based reporting, mapped the new bunker management system…

The phone call was really nice and pleasant. The guy sounded quite experienced and knew the subject. But when I asked him about the topic of reporting software for emissions, he said laconically: “You know, we do it with Excel. We can handle that. We don’t need any extra software for this.” Since 2018, seagoing ships have had to report their CO2 emissions as soon as they call at European ports. Since the beginning of this year, shipping has had to purchase pollution rights (so-called EUAs) for the emissions of their ships. So, CO2 costs money. Now, Fuel EU Maritime…

Regulations are somehow fascinating…

Regulations are somehow fascinating…

We at Herberg Systems are currently working our way through the ups and downs of the Fuel EU Maritime Regulation (2023/1805). Now regulations are not necessarily my passion. With the help of various rules and exceptions, the legislature is trying to somehow manage the balancing act between the desired goal (Green EU) and reality (shipping without emissions is not possible (yet), but without shipping there is no economy). It’s summer and vacation time, so maybe we should have a more relaxed approach? If you looked at the whole thing as a novel or screenplay, something like this would come out:…
