RightShip, a leading global environmental, social and governance (ESG) focused digital maritime platform, has today announced a partnership with Napier Port to implement RightShip’s innovative RightPort risk solution at the New Zealand port. This agreement will make Napier the first port in the region to adopt the cutting-edge technology, which aims to enhance maritime safety and sustainability.

RightPort is a transformative digital solution that screens inbound vessels against risk-based criteria tailored to a port’s requirements. It enables ports and terminals to streamline their pre-arrival processes, reduce administrative workload, and improve communication with vessels. RightPort also connects users to a global network of ports, allowing them to access feedback reports and vessel insights from other ports and terminals.

Todd Dawson, Chief Executive of Napier Port, said: “We are delighted to partner with RightShip and leverage their expertise and experience in maritime risk management. RightPort will help us to further improve our operational efficiency, safety standards, and environmental performance. It will also support our vision to be a long-term partner for our customers and our community, by providing a reliable, resilient, and sustainable port service.”

Andy Symonds, Head of APAC at RightShip, said: “We are excited to welcome Napier Port as the first port in the region to adopt RightPort. This partnership demonstrates Napier’s commitment to enhancing maritime safety and sustainability, and aligns with RightShip’s mission to create a safer and greener maritime industry. We look forward to working with Napier Port and supporting them with our data-driven solutions and global network.”

Napier Port is New Zealand’s fourth largest port by container volume. We are the gateway for Hawke’s Bay and lower North Island’s exports and operate a long-term regional infrastructure asset that supports the regional economy. Its strategic purpose is to collaborate with the people and organisations that have a stake in helping the region grow.

RightShip, a leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) focused digital maritime platform, has today announced a partnership with Port of Sudeste, located in Itaguai, Rio de Janeiro, to start utilising RightShip’s Maritime Emissions Portal (MEP) for the first time in the Latin American region.

MEP is a unique digital solution that combines AIS vessel movement data with RightShip’s vessel insights. Its primary objective is to calculate ships’ emissions and identify areas of opportunity to reduce environmental impact. MEP provides crucial support and access to unparalleled maritime datasets. This helps ports and terminals to effectively measure and manage their emissions, thereby supporting decarbonisation strategies that align with global, regional, and national targets.

Port of Sudeste recently announced aims to reduce its scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from operations by 50.4% by 2033 compared to the base year 2021. With scope 3 emissions representing one of the main challenges for the ports and terminals sector in reaching net zero, the addition of MEP now provides Porto Sudeste with a tool to monitor and reduce scope 3 emissions as part of its broader decarbonisation strategy.

Ulisses Oliveira, Sustainability Director at the Port of Sudeste, said: “Our aim at the Port of Sudeste is to maintain the highest levels of sustainability and efficiency. By teaming up with RightShip, we can obtain precise data and valuable insights to measure vessel emissions in the port and create effective strategies to reduce our environmental footprint.”

MEP employs an energy-based modelling approach based on UNEP and UNFCCC guidelines to calculate vessel-based emissions. Emissions are calculated in four separate operational modes across defined points of interest specified by the Port of Sudeste, making this platform a genuinely tailor-made solution for every port.

Commenting on the partnership, Anthony Teo, Head of the Americas Region, Vice President at RightShip, stated, “We are thrilled to announce that the Port of Sudeste is set to become the first port in Latin America to utilise our Maritime Emissions Platform. This partnership results from our years-long collaboration and signifies the port’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and excellence. We are confident that our advanced tool will assist the Port of Sudeste in developing effective strategies for decarbonisation and improving local air quality. This marks a significant milestone in RightShip’s vision of promoting a zero harm maritime industry.”
