RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal was developed in recognition that port operators are coming under increasing pressure from a variety of stakeholders to develop a more accurate understanding of ship-based emissions to identify opportunities to reduce air emissions and meet environmental targets. 

As the maritime industry moves slowly but decisively towards sustainability, ports and terminals occupy a uniquely influential position. They certainly face significant challenges, of course, how to decarbonise operations while enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness, which is no small task. But they also have the opportunity to be a catalyst for broader change in the maritime industry, influencing shipping partners through targeted collaborations and initiatives like incentive schemes for visiting ships.

To calculate Scope 3 emissions, ports require tools that can reliably track emissions and air quality from ships, while other solutions are available, tools like RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal is one such solution.

A first-of-its-kind digital solution, MEP harnesses the world’s largest and most comprehensive maritime vessel database to calculate vessel-based emissions and air quality in their port and surrounding area. With an intuitive and user-friendly design, the portal uses Automatic Identification System (AIS) location data and innovative heatmap technology and interactive dashboards to give ports and terminals unparalleled insights into emissions and air quality.
