Air Emissions

Short Description

Air Emissions from vessels can be defined as any emissions discharged into the air from the internal main combustion engine, generators, boilers, etc. for example, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, etc. On specific emissions produced by a vessel there are charges (or emission fees).

The Air Emissions module is designed to enable users to calculate and identify the total emission quantity of each generated emission type from a vessel or fleet. Calculations are possible for a broad range of different emissions based on fuel and consumption data. This enables the identification of produced emissions by a fleet or vessel and supports calculation of the different kinds of air emissions generated from the main engine, generators and boilers on board. To calculate a vessel’s emissions, the fuel type, the emission factor for each vessel and emission type MUST be entered in the Air Emissions tab. An emission factor can be defined a measure of the average amount of an emission, per metric tonne of fuel burned.

It is also possible to use the module to produce automated reports, for example, yearly/monthly/quarterly. Once issued, the reports can be sent directly to a business partner or appropriate government body. The module can also be utilised to monitor a fleet’s environmental footprint to enable a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

The Air Emissions module is represented by the Air Emissions- and Air Emission Fees tabs in the Vessel Administration module. In the Air Emissions tab the different emission types can be entered and in the Air Emission Fees tab various emission fees can be entered. Emission fees are defined and linked to an emission type in the Emission Fees module in Master Data. The Emission Fee Types module holds information about different user defined fee types.
