PortXchange upgrades port emissions monitoring platform

PortXchange has announced the launch of its new EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite, an updated version of its tracking and analysis platform.

The system features a customisable dashboard to allow ports to integrate modules tailored to their specific needs, as well as a Port Emissions Report providing emissions analysis, to assess the impact of new initiatives and adapt strategies accordingly. The dashboard also now supports an unlimited number of users within port authorities.

While the current version primarily focuses on vessel emissions, PortXchange says that future updates will extend coverage to all transport modalities within a port, including trucks, rail, and cargo handling equipment.

Implementing EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite is expected to take between 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the extent of modalities to be integrated.

“Ports have long operated in isolation, with fragmented data collection practices hampering progress. EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite is more than just a tool; it represents a crucial step towards establishing a unified global standard for port emissions reporting, similar to standards already in place in other industries,” said PortXchange CEO, Sjoerd de Jager.

“Our goal is to enhance transparency and encourage greater collaboration across the industry, which is essential for making significant advances in our decarbonisation efforts.”

“The launch of EmissionInsider Carbon Insight Suite significantly enhances ports’ ability to benchmark their performance against others. We see this as crucial for the entire port sector and are actively advocating for a global reporting standard to enable ports to share best practices and learn from one another. This collaborative approach is essential as the maritime industry faces increasingly stringent environmental regulations and aims for more ambitious sustainability goals.”
