SUSTAINABILITY WHITEPAPER LNG AS MARINE FUEL

whitePaper | July 29, 2022

The adoption of the “Initial International Maritime Organization (IMO) Strategy on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Ships” by IMO Resolution MEPC.304(72) in April 2018 demonstrates IMO’s commitment to support the Paris Agreement. The IMO strategy includes initial targets to reduce (as compared to 2008 levels) the average carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per “transport work” by at least 40 percent by 2030, aiming to pursue 70 percent reduction by 2050; and an ambition to reduce the total annual GHG emissions from shipping by at least 50 percent by 2050. Technical approaches, operational approaches and alternative fuels may be used to achieve these goals.

ENHANCING CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATIONS

whitePaper | November 30, 2022

Ports and terminals have become increasingly automated, necessitating accurate and reliable technologies to keep operations running smoothly while protecting personnel safety. Avoiding collisions is especially critical to prevent potentially hazardous accidents, costly downtime, and damage to equipment. LiDAR solutions enable safety, security, and efficiency at ports and terminals around the world. With powerful 3D visualisation, long ranges, and resilience to the harshest environment day or night, 3D LiDAR sensors solve a wide range of critical applications including positioning, navigation and collision avoidance, bulk material profiling, and perimeter security and intrusion detection.

10 PRINCIPLES TO DECARBONISE THE OSV INDUSTRY

whitePaper | June 21, 2022

The shipping industry as a whole accounts for 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the maritime industry in line with the Paris Agreement is essential to fighting climate change, and key to facilitating the decarbonisation of many other industries. This requires systemic industrywide change, the complexity of which cannot be understated. Many aspects of the transition to zero-carbon shipping are necessarily long-term endeavours, such as the development of green technology for a new generation of vessels. However, certain shortterm changes can be implemented to help accelerate this transition over the coming decade, until such technological solutions have matured.

WAREHOUSING WHITE PAPER

whitePaper | March 18, 2022

Recent decades have shown an increase in serious incidents in the Maritime Containerized Supply Chain, involving both onboard incidents and incidents taking place on shore in warehouses where Dangerous Goods are stored and handled in preparation for, or after sea-transport. Warehouse incidents in Tianjin in 2015 with numerous casualties and the latest serious such incident in Beirut in 2020 causing more than 200 deaths, 6000 injured and leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless, have caused global concern. They have revealed a need for guidance on warehousing, including consolidation, where Dangerous Goods are involved

Relying On Drivers To Self-Report?

whitePaper | January 9, 2023

There are many risks associated with employing individuals with invalid motor vehicle records to drive on company time. At the top of the list is public safety. That’s why commercial driver license holders are mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulation (FMCSA) to notify their employer of any motor vehicle violations within 30 days of conviction. If the driver’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) is suspended, revoked, canceled, or if he/she is disqualified from driving, the employee must notify the employer within one business day.¹ This allows the employer to take action immediately.

On the road to the software-defined vehicle – developing andoperating software and services with greater efficiency

whitePaper | January 4, 2023

Digital platforms provide the basis for tool-assisted development and efficient operation of software-based vehicle functions and thus pave the way for various new use cases and business models. The platforms create an ecosystem that must serve as an attractive environment offering added value to both parties – i.e. the provider and the user of services. With PANTARIS, ETAS has developed a solution that is tailored to the specific requirements of the automotive sector. This enables faster development of new functions and easier integration of these functions into the vehicle.
