RightShip Debuts Maritime Emissions Portal

As the maritime community collectively ? ghts to reduce emissions, Right-

Ship and Pilbara Ports Authority have developed a pilot program that allows ports around the world to review their emissions pro? les and develop man- agement strategies.After partnering with The Australian Marine Environment

Protection Association (AUSMEPA), and winning a $250,000 Google Impact grant in 2016, RightShip and AUSMEPA have developed a Maritime Emis- sions Portal (MEP), which will provide leading emissions inventory data to ports around the world. Available now for commercial use, the MEP has been designed as a tool to support port operators to better and more accurately understand ship-based emissions, and based on that evidence identify op- portunities to develop management strategies.
