Swedish company Chris-Marine has formed a strategic partnership with Veracity by DNV, in order to assist the maritime industry’s move to decarbonisation and digitalisation.
The collaboration integrates Trust-Ocean, Chris-Marine’s performance and emissions monitoring solution, with Veracity, the maritime emissions cloud from DNV.
Jens Groth, CEO Chris-Marine said: “Integrating Trust-Ocean with DNV’s maritime emissions cloud, Veracity, reduces the risk of low-quality data and improves data transparency. This enhances sustainability for our customers, supports their decision-making process, and helps them achieve compliance and operational efficiency goals. This aligns with Chris-Marine’s overall goal to accelerate the decarbonisation and digitalisation of the maritime industry, establishing us as a market leader in promoting a sustainable future. Chris Marine has invested heavily in digital offerings and capabilities as a natural evolution of the Lemag products in order to offer the market a future proof solution.”
Aymen Abdaoui, Project Leader Trust-Ocean, added: “Trust-Ocean represents a significant advancement in maritime performance and monitoring technology. By automatically collecting data from onboard sensors, Trust-Ocean minimises manual processes and enhances data accuracy, saving time and effort for the crew. Our system features dynamic dashboards for real-time monitoring of vessel operational efficiency, actively engaging the crew onboard to take immediate and informed actions. Through our centralised platform, ship data is transmitted to the shore, stored in the cloud, and analysed via a secure web-based application, offering deeper insights and analytics.”
The partnership is in sync with Veracity by DNV’s focus on delivering an optimal maritime emissions data verification solution, enabling customers to use their emissions data with confidence in a wide range of business use-cases, such as handling EU ETS settlements and sustainability reporting. Trust Ocean’s integration with Veracity and DNV’s verification services offer a comprehensive solution for shipowners and operators to proactively manage their vessels, optimise operations, and ensure compliance with evolving environmental regulations.
Chris Marine has been exploring the benefits of this partnership for customers such as Hammonia Reederei of Germany.
Kay Thürnagel, Technical Director Hammonia Reederei, said: “The integration between Trust-Ocean by Chris-Marine and Veracity will support our environmental reporting and verification, reducing the manual handling required by our crew. We’re excited by this collaboration.”
