DNV's Environmental Performance System is used by customers in many industries; it is as applicable for yards as it is for offshore operations. The Nauticus Air and Nauticus Environment setups of the system specifically measure operational impact from ships in operation, and are tailor-made for the maritime industry.

According to user feedback, the main advantages are the possibility of tailoring ’what to measure‘ to customer needs and also the simplicity in reporting. The companies that measure environmental performance are aware of the environmental impact and risks their operation presents, and are better prepared to manage them.

In 2006, Fred.Olsen Marine Services needed a better system for following up the impacts our operations would have on the environment. As part of this process, we found that DNV Software’s system could assist us in more clearly identifying our environmental impacts.

Our main objective in using this system is to regularly monitor emissions, and to ultimately analyse trends and hence determine what improvements need to be considered.

In choosing the environmental performance system Nauticus Environment, we placed considerable emphasis on its userfriendliness. The system is now in use on all our offshore units for registration of environmental measures, and we have received positive feedback on its use.

The reporting solutions with the export functions to Excel are now working satisfactorily, providing us with sufficient information to meet current requirements.

Developments and improvements of the system are announced and released regularly, and support from DNV Software has been satisfactory.

The main advantage for us is being able to monitor consumption and emissions from our operation in a simple manner.
