Høglund and Veracity by DNV partner to ease emissions reporting for shipowners

The maritime industry stands to benefit significantly from the digitization of data collection, compilation, processing, analysis, distribution, and interconnectivity. With DNV’s expertise in risk management and assurance services, and Høglund’s automation solutions and vessel data utilization services, the partners share a common interest in driving innovation and fostering sustainable practices in the maritime industry.

By consolidating valuable information from vessels that are operating with Høglund’s systems and their Connect portal, and running it over Veracity, the two partners enable stakeholders to access and utilize verified and trusted data efficiently. This integration promotes transparency, innovation, sustainability, and improved decision-making that benefits both customers and affiliated companies, as well as society as whole.

The partnership has generated excitement among many customers, including Swedish shipowner and operator, Sirius Shipping. Benjamin Fhager, Environmental Manager at Sirius Shipping, says: "We are thrilled to be offered this innovative solution by DNV and Høglund. It unlocks new possibilities for optimizing our operations and enhancing efficiency in the maritime sector. We look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will bring to our business, by offering a secure digital pipeline for standardized and scalable data exchange."

"This integration between Veracity and Høglund marks yet another milestone in our mission to transform the maritime industry through trusted data and connectivity between reputable and reliable partners" says Mikkel Skou, Executive Director at Veracity. " “As verified emissions data becomes increasingly important toward compliance and contractual obligations, we can help fleet managers and owners like Sirius Shipping with a more secure and streamlined process of sharing relevant information across the value chain. ”

"We are thrilled to join forces with DNV on this ambitious venture," said Peter Morsbach, COO at Høglund. "By integrating our automation solutions and vessel operational data within the DNV Veracity Platform, we can drive innovation, optimize vessel performance, and create a more connected maritime ecosystem.
