Software GL launches GL
EmissionManager Shipowners and operators are being asked to measure, track and report the emissions from their vessels by both regulators and their business partners in order to operate more eco-friendly vessels. Classification society Germanischer Lloyd has launched its latest product, GL EmissionManager, which will allow owners and operators to collect, track and calculate the emissions of a ship in detail for the first time. In cooperation with German shipping company
Hamburg Süd, GL have developed the GL EmissionManager system to systematically capture all environmentally relevant ship operation data. Te GL EmissionManager soſtware is designed to systematise and structure reports that are recorded in less coordinated ways. Operational and voyage- related data, such as noon/position report, departure, arrival, and stoppage reports is recorded and analysed and environmental information, examining factors such as fuel consumption, emissions to air (CO2
, SOx,
NOx), garbage, sludge, ballast water and chemicals, can be extracted. The system consists of
two parts, a software
component that collects information (“emission recorder”) and a ‘Green Server’, where the data is analysed and certified and where different reports are produced. Te emission recorder is installed on the

system ABB has launched a complete marine advisory and automation system to improve fuel efficiency. ABB has introduced several soſtware applications for
the marine market that will help all types of vessels reduce their fuel consumption. Te application of the integrated advanced soſtware, electrical systems and Azipod propulsion can help ship owners slash fuel consumption by up to 20%, says ABB. Tese Advisory Systems include the latest versions of ABB’s energy management system for marine applications (EMMA) and Amarcon’s Octopus solution. ABB is able to provide a vertically integrated
power and automation set of solutions that will assist shipowners to increase productivity and safety of the vessel operation, while minimising fuel consumption and environmental impacts. (see the Marine Power & Propulsion Supplement pp5)
Ancillary equipment Wärtsilä Hamworthy to
supply Exmar vessels Wärtsilä Hamworthy has won a contract with Hyundai Mipo Dockyard to supply cargo handling equipment and engineering to four medium sized carriers for Antwerp- headquartered Exmar Shipping SA. Each of the 38,000m³ capacity vessels will be delivered
from the first quarter of 2014 onwards. All vessels will be constructed to Hyundai Mipo’s latest design, which has an increased capacity of 3,000m³ to strengthen competitiveness in the international marketplace, says the company. The design includes an improved hull shape to
minimise resistance in water and optimise fuel consumption. The engine room and deck will be designed so that it can use LNG or LPG as fuel to reduce CO2
, SOx and NOx air emissions. Wärtsilä Hamworthy will supply cargo related
engineering including deck tank engineering, reliquefaction plants, Wärtsilä Moss inert gas generators, Wärtsilä Svanehøj cargo pumps, cargo heater and vaporiser, cargo control systems, supervision and commissioning. All equipment and engineering services will be delivered in 2013.
