An agreement has been signed between classification provider American Bureau of shipping (ABS) and Diana Shipping Services S.A. (DSS), as to implement the ABS Environmental Monitor™ digital sustainability solution across 31 vessels managed under DSS.
Part of the ABS My Digital Fleet™ risk management platform, the ABS Environmental Monitor is a cloud-based application leveraging vessel waste stream and emissions data as to support a more sustainable vessel operations. The application allows shipowners and managers to monitor and track overall fleet or vessel-specific environmental data in such categories as emissions, waste and consumables.
ABS Senior Vice President, Digital Solutions, Kash Mahmood said,
“We are delighted to be able to support DSS on their sustainability journey through sophisticated digital technologies. ABS Environmental Monitor™ is a powerful tool designed to support forward thinking shipowners and operators, such as DSS, towards meeting their decarbonization, digitalization and wider sustainability ambitions. Through advanced data analysis, this digital solution provides unprecedented levels of insight into an individual asset’s environmental performance, or that of an entire fleet. ABS is uniquely positioned to deliver a comprehensive digital sustainability solution such as this, thanks to our domain experience and technology resources.”
Diana Shipping Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer, Semiramis Paliou also commented,
“As a prudent fleet owner and a participant in the global shipping industry, Diana Shipping Inc. is committed to the proper stewardship of our environment. We are pleased to have the cooperation and resources of ABS and DSS as we pursue the goal of achieving a more sustainable future.”
