RightShip, the world’s leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) focused digital maritime platform, has partnered with AD Ports Group, the leading facilitator of global trade, logistics and industry, to deploy RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal (MEP) in its portfolio of world-class ports.

MEP is a groundbreaking digital solution that combines Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel movement data with RightShip’s unique 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 decarbonization strategies that align with global, regional, and national targets.

“We recognize 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. Our comprehensive strategy addresses various aspects of our operations. With this approach, we are confident that we can reduce emissions while maintaining operational efficiency.”

Mr. Andrew Roberts, Executive Director, EMEA, at RightShip, commented that “Announcing our collaboration with AD Ports Group is truly thrilling demonstrating commitment to excellence in the maritime global industry. Our Maritime Emissions Portal is a critical and potent tool that can assist ports in developing effective decarbonization strategies, thereby improving air quality in the local area. This partnership will support AD Ports Group with their emissions reduction strategy and significantly contribute to our mission of creating a zero-harm maritime industry.”

RightShip’s MEP uses an energy-based modeling 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 emissions targets defined by ports and displayed in a versatile digital tool.
