OceanOpt, a provider of emissions management solutions, has partnered up with DNV Veracity, the data platform from independent assurance and risk management company, DNV, to ‘simplify’ emissions reporting and compliance with the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for shipping companies.
As informed, the partnership seeks to offer ‘enhanced visibility and certainty’ for corporations navigating the EU’s carbon regulations by combining OceanOpt’s data management tools with DNV Veracity’s collected emissions data.
More precisely, through an API-backed data flow, OceanOpt can reportedly integrate emissions data from DNV’s Emissions Connect platform into its EU ETS portal. In turn, the estimates are that these endeavors might lend a helping hand with the allocation and reconciliation of EU Allowances (EUAs).
“By connecting OceanOpt to the Veracity cloud we also integrate with DNV’s Emissions Connect, where customers can generate voyage statements for EU ETS. With this at hand, our customers can meet the regulatory requirements in time, as well as comply with various Charter party clauses,” said Anil Jacob, Managing Director of Ocean op. “Further on, OceanOpt’s data management service provides actionable insights for our clients to be able to significantly reduce carbon tax costs while ensuring regulatory compliance.”
