Fight port emissions with PortXchange software tool
The Port of Rotterdam is reaping the benefits of emissions data collection software from PortXchange, establishing an emissions baseline from which it can achieve its decarbonisation targets.
Urgent action is needed, says PortXchange, if the shipping industry is to meet the IMO’s goal of net-zero by 2050. Countries such as China, Brazil and Argentina are resisting curbs such as a carbon levy, says the company, leading some to call for more robust action.
Port of Rotterdam spinoff, PortXchange, says its EmissionInsider tool can help drive this more effective action by simplifying and automating transport-related emission data collection, establishing a baseline for each port.
EmissionInsider provides port authorities with data to make strategic decisions on targeted decarbonisation strategies. Such decisions can include adopting mechanisms and incentives that encourage and promote sustainable shipping practices, such as speed optimisation.
It has been so successful at the Port of Rotterdam, says the company, that it ‘offers a compelling template for other ports worldwide, regardless of IMO decisions’.
