AD Ports Group has decided to deploy RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal (MEP) in its portfolio of worldwide ports.
MEP is a digital solution that combines Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel movement data with RightShip’s vessel insights. The solution calculates ships’ emissions within port and terminal facilities and highlights opportunities to reduce environmental impact.
MEP gives critical assistance and access to unparalleled maritime datasets to help ports and terminals effectively measure and manage their emissions.
This asset is crucial in supporting decarbonisation strategies that align with global, regional, and national targets.
Othman Al Khouri, executive director – corporate authority, AD Ports Group, said, “We recognise the critical role of technology in reducing our facilities’ carbon footprint. By partnering with RightShip, we aim to leverage data-driven insights to identify areas with the highest potential for impact.”
He added, “Our comprehensive strategy addresses various aspects of our operations. With this approach, we are confident that we can reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.”
Also, RightShip’s MEP uses an energy-based modelling approach, following the guidelines of UNEP and UNFCCC, to calculate vessel-based emissions.
Emissions are calculated across four operational modes, at specific points of interest and against emission targets defined by ports and displayed in a versatile digital tool.
