Spinergie and Veracity by DNV strategic partnership enhances emissions reporting

SMT Shipping benefits from integrated platforms in meeting emissions compliance requirements

Paris, France - November 26, 2024: Maritime technology company Spinergie is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Veracity, the leading maritime emissions data cloud from DNV. Together, they offer clients a comprehensive, automated system for collecting, processing, and verifying emissions data.

This partnership will integrate Spinergie’s Smart Fleet Management solution with the Veracity platform and connect Spinergie’s Smart Reporting module with DNV’s Emissions Connect. Smart Reporting collects data via multiple sources, including sensors, GPS/AIS, and manual entry. Crucially, Spinergie’s in-built mechanisms ensure the quality of ship data. By connecting with Emissions Connect through Veracity, this data can be directly verified, ensuring compliance with the IMO DCS, EU MRV, and FuelEU Maritime regulations.

Spinergie’s client, SMT Shipping, a world leader in bulk cargo transportation, has selected the partnership to streamline its data management processes and ensure regulatory compliance. SMT Shipping benefits from a suite of tools tailored to make their operations more efficient. These include simplified and guided manual data entry, reinforced with automatic population and robust quality checks. Quality checks at the reporting source reduce the need for a back-and-forth between the verifier and SMT’s crews, making significant time savings.

Further time savings are achieved through single-entry data, with multiple reports generated from a centralized dataset and automatically exported to relevant internal and external stakeholders as required.

"Through Spinergie’s Smart Fleet Management solution, SMT Shipping has taken steps to significantly reduce the administrative burden of our crews and office staff. This system allows the seamless reporting of consumption and emissions data to regulatory bodies, and most importantly gives SMT the great benefit of a platform to access all operational and technical details about our voyages and vessels,” said Joep Groot, Business Optimization & Projects, SMT Shipping.

"Veracity’s partnership with Spinergie enhances our ability to support maritime clients in their journey towards sustainability. By providing seamless access to verified emissions data, we empower companies like SMT Shipping to efficiently bring trust into their emissions data and adhere to stringent environmental regulations," commented Mikkel Skou, Executive Director for Veracity by DNV.

"Our partnership with Veracity by DNV aligns with our mission to provide clients with the tools to reduce the reporting and admin workload of crews and office staff. Together, we offer a solution that simplifies emissions data management and helps shipping companies achieve their sustainability goals,” added Jean Cristofari, CEO and Co-Founder of Spinergie.

The collaboration between Spinergie and Veracity by DNV is a significant step in adopting digital technologies and data standardization in the maritime sector. The partnership will help clients, including SMT Shipping, achieve peak efficiency and improve environmental performance through the power of real-time, verified emissions data.
