Pole Star Global’s Podium serves as the digital nerve centre for maritime operations. Powered by the cutting-edge, industry-leading DOMAIN engine, Podium unifies voyage monitoring, reporting, analysis, and optimisation into one flexible, user-friendly platform.
With seamless integration at its core, Podium’s newly expanded Emissions Module is one solution designed to revolutionise emissions management, making it simpler and more efficient than ever before.
Podium consolidates critical data from the ship, shore, and surrounding environment to deliver invaluable insights. Within the Emissions Module, you can access customisable dashboards, real-time notifications, and in-depth tracking capabilities.
Unlock the Full Potential of Podium’s Emissions Module
Discover how Podium’s Emissions Module can transform your operations. Track emissions and optimise your voyages alongside seamless reporting and compliance. For more information, check out the specific benefits this platform has to offer below.
Easily Handle Your EU ETS and EUA Accounts
Podium’s enhanced Emissions Module lets you record emissions for each voyage and calculate your EU Allowances (EUA), along with any costs for remaining emissions.
Plus, alternative fuel types are also supported in accordance with EU Regulation, allowing you to include these emissions in your EUA calculations.This gives you a clearer, more comprehensive view of your savings from emissions reduction efforts, while accounting for key regulatory changes. This point is expanded on further below.
Practice Voyage Optimisation as a Crucial Step Toward Net Zero
Alternative fuels are often hailed as the future of shipping, but progress is moving slowly. Given these challenges, optimising voyages is a smart and effective way to cut emissions now.
Plus, detailed statistical tables and visuals are provided, along with best route suggestions that highlight potential savings in distance and time compared to the shortest route or the Master’s plan. By factoring in fuel costs, hire rates, vessel consumption, and emissions, Podium’s PVB estimates fuel, emission, and financial savings for each voyage or across your fleet over time.
CASE STUDY: Rotterdam to Tokyo via Suez Canal
For example, Podium helped a client save nearly $60,000 in operational costs for an Aframax Tanker by identifying the optimal route between Rotterdam (EU) and Tokyo (non-EU) via Suez Canal. This smart routing not only cut costs but also reduced greenhouse gas emissions and minimised expenses under EU ETS requirements.
With the latter point in mind, consider this same voyage in 2025, 2026, and 2027, and you’ll see the EU Allowance (EUA) savings grow over time.
- In 2025, with 40% ETS coverage, the savings would be 98.74 EUA, or $7215.06 per voyage at a price of €65.83 per EUA
- By 2026, with 70% coverage, the savings rise to 172.76 EUA, worth $12626.87 per voyage
- In 2027, with 100% coverage, savings reached 246.85 EUA, valued at $18037.65 per voyage
With Podium’s Emissions Module, you can easily access all this data, ensuring you make well-informed decisions for maximum efficiency, compliance, and cost savings.
Enhance Communications with a Unified Data Solution
“Utilising Podium5’s voyage optimisation feature, you can minimise your potential exposure to EU ETS by optimising for reduced consumption. Using our onboard interface your vessels can report their emissions, plus other performance-related data, and then monitor this data in our Emissions Module dashboards. Then utilising our integrations with major verifiers, DNV and Verifivia you can quickly settle your EU ETS accounts on a voyage level or prepare for your annual EU and IMO DCS filing.” – Darin Keeter, Senior Vice President for Shipping and Offshore at Pole Star Global
EU ETS and MRV compliance involve various groups with differing reporting methods and systems, leading to inconsistent data and potential errors. With stricter requirements today, managing these inconsistencies is crucial to avoid significant costs and improve communication among stakeholders.
Podium’s Emissions Module simplifies this by integrating with leading verifiers like DNV and Verifavia, allowing you to efficiently manage EU ETS accounts for each voyage and stay current with annual EU and IMO DCS filings. It also streamlines reporting for CII, DCS, UK MRV and Sea Cargo Charter.
With Podium’s Emissions Module, you get a centralised, transparent system that keeps all reports organised and accessible. This ensures that stakeholders are well-informed about emissions reduction goals, actions, challenges, and progress.
Navigating Ageing Fleets and Uncertainty: Enhance Decision-Making, ROI, and Confidence
Podium’s Emissions Module is your ultimate tool for making smart decisions about managing your ships. This is especially important for dealing with the inefficiencies of older vessels.
Navigating strict emissions rules can be challenging. With many ways to boost efficiency and meet international and local regulations, Podium simplifies the process. It helps you sift through your options, showing you which ones are most cost-effective at reducing emissions.
Whether you’re considering slow steaming, upgrading for more fuel efficient vessels, or optimising your voyage routes, Podium provides the insights you need to make informed choices. Plus, by digitising emissions reporting, Podium allows you to fine-tune your ship’s settings, like speed, with precision.
In short, Podium ensures your vessel runs efficiently, delivers a solid return on investment, and remains compliant with regulations.
