[Rotterdam, 18 September 2024] – PortXchange, a leading innovator in port emissions digitalization and maritime solutions, is set to launch EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite.This enhanced version of their acclaimed emissions tracking and analysis platform represents a significant advancement in establishing global standards for emissions reporting in the maritime industry.
EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite features a customizable dashboard, allowing ports to integrate bespoke modules tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, the platform offers the Port Emissions Report, providing in-depth emissions analysis for ports offering more comprehensive reporting capabilities.
As the maritime sector faces increasing pressure to address decarbonization, the critical role of ports in reducing carbon footprints becomes more evident. The original EmissionInsider platform has already demonstrated its value by helping major ports, including those in Houston and Rotterdam, to effectively monitor, analyze, and manage their emissions. Launch EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite builds upon this foundation, offering enhanced functionalities that cater to the sector’s evolving demands.
This new version represents a significant way forward in emissions monitoring, disrupting the traditional approach of relying on costly consultants who require extended periods to gather data and produce reports. With EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite, ports can now access real-time monitoring and analysis at the click of a button, allowing them to quickly assess the impact of new initiatives and adapt their strategies immediately.
The dashboard now supports an unlimited number of users within port authorities, ensuring broader team engagement with the data. Enhanced executive reporting features make it easy for C-suite executives to obtain a snapshot of their port’s emissions footprint for any specified period. EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, further simplifying the user experience while providing advanced capabilities to respond to complex queries.
While the current version primarily focuses on vessel emissions, future updates will extend coverage to all transport modalities within a port, including trucks, rail, and cargo handling equipment. The platform adheres to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements and employs established methodologies for emissions calculations, such as the EPA’s MOVES4 for the US and TNO for Europe. Implementing EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite is expected to take between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the extent of modalities to be integrated.
PortXchange’s CEO, Sjoerd de Jager, emphasized the significance of this launch: “Ports have long operated in isolation, with fragmented data collection practices hampering progress.EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite is more than just a tool; it represents a crucial step towards establishing a unified global standard for port emissions reporting, similar to standards already in place in other industries. Our goal is to enhance transparency and encourage greater collaboration across the industry, which is essential for making significant advances in our decarbonization efforts.”
Director of Business Development Abhishek Nair added, “In developing EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite, we listened closely to our customers and aimed to make the platform as intuitive and integrated as possible for daily port operations.With advanced data visualization and analytical capabilities, it helps ports pinpoint emission hotspots and evaluate decarbonization strategies with greater precision, enhancing both the user experience and the platform’s contribution to sustainability.”
Sjoerd de Jager concluded, “The launch of EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite significantly enhances ports’ ability to benchmark their performance against others. We see this as crucial for the entire port sector and are actively advocating for a global reporting standard to enable ports to share best practices and learn from one another. This collaborative approach is essential as the maritime industry faces increasingly stringent environmental regulations and aims for more ambitious sustainability goals.”
PortXchange is steadfast in its commitment to customer satisfaction and environmental improvement, as evidenced by the launch of EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite.This new platform addresses key industry challenges and promises substantial returns on investment. Our ongoing dedication to global standards, innovation, and sustainability continues to drive meaningful progress within the maritime sector.
