Maritime Emissions Portal

Core Features

RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal (MEP) calculates emissions by linking AIS tracking with RightShip’s ship-specific database inside a geofenced port boundary, then applies an energy-based modelling approach aligned with UNEP/UNFCCC guidance. The methodology (peer-reviewed) covers carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) and key air pollutants across four operating modes. Its main features include:

• Dashboard with filters and heatmaps - Track emissions by type, vessel, point of interest, and mode; includes a traffic‑light view, “Top Contributors”, monthly trends, and heatmaps to spotlight hotspots.

• Insights & benchmarking - Compare current data against baseline and up to three other years, helping identify root causes and monitor reduction progress.

• Emission target setting & reporting - Define port‑level short‑ and long‑term targets (in kg/h or %), view performance via dashboard indicators, and export branded PDF reports.

• Heatmap zoning for problem areas - Visualize emission hotspots by location and vessel type, then drill down into specific points of interest for detailed analysis.

• Scenario‑planning modules - Model future emissions under different port‑traffic or shore‑power deployment scenarios to build data‑backed business cases.

Closing Insights

Prominent adopters illustrate its range: the Port of London Authority uses MEP to reduce port emissions and improve air quality; the Port of Yokohama employs it to support decarbonization and a Green Shipping Corridor; and AD Ports Group, a major global trade logistics provider, is deploying MEP across a portfolio to guide reduction strategies.

Recent product improvements embed MEP within the RightShip platform and add scenario-planning modules for shore power and port-traffic changes, helping ports test interventions before they invest. MEP’s dashboards, heatmaps, and emissions targets streamline year-over-year benchmarking and publication-ready PDF reports, improving governance and transparency. Partnerships have broadened reach: a tie-up with NxtPort International exposes MEP to large port data-sharing communities, while a 2025 collaboration with Magellan Circle pairs the software with consultancy and EU-funding know-how.

Underpinned by an energy-based modelling approach aligned with UNEP/UNFCCC guidance and independently peer-reviewed, the outlook is pragmatic: ports get defensible inventories, scenario testing, and expert support to craft incentive schemes and communicate outcomes to stakeholders.
