In an effort to help shipowners meet the European Union's (EU's) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation, Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce) has extended its marine Energy Management solutions with a "cloud-based" fuel consumption and carbon dioxide monitoring module.

The new module is an add-on solution to the Rolls-Royce Energy Management System that was launched in May, and enables data to be sent automatically from the ship to the "cloud" where information and reports can be accessed and downloaded from anywhere with an internet connection.

"The Energy Management EU-MRV module allows for automated gathering and reporting of fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and other relevant data required of the new regulation," said Bjørn Kåre Myskja, UX/Developer Engineer for Digital & Systems at Rolls-Royce.

"With shipowners able to constantly track accurate fuel consumption and emissions data via the Rolls-Royce Energy Management web portal, they can reduce fuel costs and mitigate against incompliance and any financial penalties imposed by member states. More accurate data delivers greater costs savings."

The company says that one focus of the module's development was data protection, and notes the system was designed to meet anticipated global regulations in the future.

As Ship & Bunker has reported, since its market introduction earlier this year, the Rolls-Royce Energy Management System has received a contract for two Nor Lines vessels.
