Kongsberg Maritime (Kongsberg) says K-Fleet Voyage - its digital application for monitoring ship fuel consumption and emissions - has been verified by Ecoxy AS (Ecoxy) for use under the new European Union (EU) Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation and the EU Emission Trading Scheme (ETS).

"With the first deadline under EU-MRV fast approaching we are committed to being at the forefront with a flexible, cost-effective solution for shipowners to meet these important new requirements," said Rune Kristian Stålstrøm, Product Manager – Vessel & Fleet Performance, Kongsberg Maritime.

"Deploying K-Fleet Voyage is a cost effective, straightforward process regardless of if a vessel is already operating within the K-Fleet eco-system or not. Our solution supports customers to conform to the new regulations with minimal effort, while providing new opportunities to reduce operational costs by leveraging the extensive data that K-Fleet Voyage delivers."

Last week, Kongsberg Maritime announced that it has been awarded an Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI) contract by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG) for a liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fuelled RoPax Ferry for Brittany Ferries Ltd. (Brittany Ferries).
