Gas shipping company Anthony Veder is expanding its use of electronic logbook systems to support regulatory emissions reporting requirements, having agreed an extended partnership with software provider NAPA.
A joint project between the two companies is introducing voyage reporting functionality to Anthony Veder’s ships to assist in onboard data collection and compliance with regulatory environmental requirements.
The addition of this voyage reporting software will support reporting for EU-MRV (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification) and the IMO-DCS (Data Collection System), automatically sharing data with shoreside teams, via NAPA Fleet Intelligence, as well as with the emissions reporting verifier, in this case DNV Emission Connect, in near real-time.
“Being compliant with regulatory reporting is important but is becoming more and more complex. Without digitisation and automation this would be increasing time spent by our seafaring colleagues,” said Björn van de Weerdhof, Commercial and Sustainability Director at Anthony Veder.
“By partnering with NAPA, integrating their digital logbook, and through digital solutions and automated entries we significantly reduced the administrative burden on board so our seafarers can focus on their core duties: operating our vessels in a safe, sustainable, and efficient way for our customers.”
Since introducing NAPA Logbook in 2023, the shipping company estimates that it has already cut 2,000 administrative hours per vessel, a 14% reduction.
