KR introduces digital decarbonisation platforms

Korean Register (KR) reports that it has launched two new digital systems, PILOT and POWER, to help shipowners develop emission-reduction strategies and improve operational efficiency.

PILOT (Platform for Insightful LOw-emission Transitions) enables users to model customised greenhouse gas reduction scenarios using vessel-specific technical and operational data.

It automatically calculates emissions, compliance costs, and the cost-effectiveness of energy-saving technologies and alternative fuels, to assist in the planning of long-term decarbonisation strategies.

POWER (Performance evaluation for Operational characteristics, Weather & aging Effect and fuel consumption Review) provides visual analysis of ship performance using AIS, weather, and ocean condition data.

“The shipping industry is facing the dual challenge of establishing practical emission-reduction strategies while improving operational efficiency under a changing regulatory environment,” said KR Chairman and CEO Lee Hyung Chul.

“PILOT and POWER embody KR’s accumulated expertise and data-driven analytical capabilities, providing shipowners intelligence that enables informed decisions and promotes the sustainable development of the maritime sector.”

Both systems are available through KR’s digital service platform, KR-DAON.
