Ulstein Digital launches AI-powered MRV and NOx compliance tools
(Posted on 18/06/26)
Ship operators face mounting pressure from environmental reporting, with crews and office staff spending hours on manual processes. Ulstein Digital now launches two AI-powered solutions to automate this: an MRV solution for EU/UK MRV and EU ETS, and a NOx solution for quarterly reporting in Norwegian waters, reducing risk while freeing up time and resources.
Both solutions connect directly to data sources the vessel is already generating, with minimal hardware changes required. That data is automatically collected, validated and compiled into ready-to-submit reports, radically reducing manual handling and duplicate workflows.
The EU ETS phase-in for shipping this year reaches 100% of verified emissions; every tonne of CO? now carries its full carbon cost, with no phase-in discounts remaining. With operators already accumulating high-stakes data for the 2026 reporting deadline in March 2027, the financial consequences of inaccurate or late submissions have escalated dramatically.
Ulstein Digital’s MRV solution covers both EU/EEA and UK waters simultaneously. It applies complex regulatory rules in real time and delivers verifier-ready reports to DNV’s Veracity platform with a single click, complete with a full audit trail. Because it is entirely vendor-independent, shipowners can integrate it with existing onboard systems regardless of supplier.
Main benefits for operators include:
• Reporting and verification time reduced by up to 40 %
• Fewer rejections and faster approval cycles
• Full visibility of emissions-related costs across the fleet
Available immediately on a per-vessel, per-month subscription, the MRV solution is the next-generation version of a platform already proven with leading shipowner customers.
For vessels with propulsion power above 750 kW operating in Norwegian waters, NOx Fund obligations have long been an operational headache. Meeting them has relied almost entirely on manual data entry by ships’ crew: many valuable hours spent each quarter logging fuel consumption and SCR (selective catalytic reduction) performance data, with significant exposure to human error.
Ulstein Digital's NOx solution automates the entire quarterly reporting workflow, validating and compiling submission-ready reports for delivery to the NOx Fund or flag authorities in one click. Every NOx record becomes fully verified, traceable and auditable, freeing crew to focus on what matters most: running the vessel.
The solution also provides fleet-wide NOx cost visibility, giving fleet managers insight into fuel use and cost per vessel, enabling operational outliers to be identified and corrected before they become a financial liability.
