V.ERDE
V.ERDE Energy Efficiency Programme
Additional Services within the V.ERDE Framework: • Sentry: Focuses on performance monitoring, including fuel consumption, annual ETS impact evaluations, and CII monitoring. • Challenger: Expands on Sentry by adding services such as monthly reporting packs, hull performance monitoring, anchorage time and uplift planning, and guidance on new technologies. • Champion: Builds upon Challenger services, adding financial impact assessments (ROI, NPV, ETS market insights), interactive performance management, fleet education, workshops, commercial performance assurance, strategic planning for the next decade, and monitoring of voyage route deviations. This structured suite of services ensures a holistic and strategic approach to fleet management and energy efficiency, tailored to the dynamic needs of the maritime industry. ShipSure ShipSure enhances the V.ERDE framework by introducing new technology aimed at improving core deliverables and maximising opportunities. This upgrade includes enhanced verification processes to ensure the reliability of data used in V.ERDE analysis. By leveraging Machine Learning and Analytics, this initiative will significantly increase operational efficiencies for ship owners. Under the V.ERDE Sentry initiative, ShipSure will launch user-friendly tools specifically designed to optimize performance on longer voyages. These tools will provide detailed and actionable insights to improve efficiency and decision-making. Additionally, for the V.ERDE Challenger and Champion levels, ShipSure will work with external service providers to offer real-time voyage monitoring and actionable optimisation recommendations. This collaboration will ensure that our clients have access to the latest, most effective strategies for managing their maritime operations.
V. is in a strategic partnership with the Mærsk McKinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, an independent not-for-profit established in 2020 focused on decarbonising the global maritime sector. Our collaboration supports the adoption of alternative fuels and energy efficiency enhancements, crucial as regulatory standards tighten. Significant contributions from V. include participating in projects that evaluate the impact of maritime regulations and enhance energy efficiency. A notable initiative is the Cost Benefit Sharing project, which assesses energy efficiency technology performance, facilitating equitable cost and benefit discussions among industry stakeholders.
A key area of focus is the use of ammonia as a promising alternative fuel. V. is involved in a comprehensive study conducted by the Lloyd’s Register (LR) Maritime Decarbonisation Hub and the Mærsk McKinney Møller Center, assessing risk mitigation for ammonia-fuelled vessels, including container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers. Additionally, V.’s active role in managing Green Corridor Feasibility studies gathers industry stakeholders to explore the technical and regulatory feasibility of alternative fuels for cargo transport. These studies aim to map costs, identify funding, and find cost reduction opportunities, speeding up the adoption of alternative fuels across the maritime industry.
V.ERDE leverages extensive ship management experience and state-of-the-art technology to deliver a comprehensive approach to energy efficiency, tailored to meet the evolving demands of ESG regulations, governance complexities, and digitalisation. Our programme offers customers detailed roadmaps to achieve net zero, with strategies that address immediate targets, harness upcoming technologies, and implement long-term, greenhouse gas-reducing solutions. The V.ERDE programme seamlessly integrates with existing V. services such as ShipSure, SeaTec, V.Ships, and V.Services, and is customised to meet individual customer needs, available either as a one-off project or on a subscription basis. It focuses on enhancing technical efficiency, alternative propulsion, operational efficiency, business strategy, alternative fuels, and new builds, delivering measurable improvements in energy efficiency.
Key features of the V.ERDE programme include:
• Real-time Monitoring: Ongoing tracking of the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) for each voyage, with predictive tools to forecast the vessel’s year-end CII based on current performance. • Voyage Optimisation: Capabilities to model future voyage scenarios to understand their impact on the CII rating, with automated submission of CII ratings and improvement plans for certification. • Digital Tools: A sophisticated web-based platform and mobile application that offer features like voyage routing recommendations, hull cleaning schedules, and soon, automated solutions to enhance CII ratings. By integrating voyage optimisation, digital data verification, and daily monitoring, V.ERDE aims to spearhead decarbonisation and increase operational efficiency within the maritime sector.
