Maritime Solution

We help monitor their compliance with environmental regulations

MARPOL Annex VI enforcement

Pioneering the field of maritime emissions monitoring, Explicit enables authorities to monitor compliance with MARPOL Annex VI regulations using airborne surveillance of individual ship emissions. The solution allows for effective enforcement of key environmental regulations at sea.

Sulphur

Based on the SO₂/CO₂ ratio in the exhaust gas, the system can determine the sulphur content (% m/m) in the fuel being burned using emission factors prescribed by MEPC.

NO_x emissions

Based on the NO_x/CO₂ ratio in the exhaust gas and other parameters the system is able to identify possible NO_x outliers under IMO’s NO_x Technical Code Tier I-III.

Methane slip

Using high-sensitive laser spectrometry, Explicit is also able to detect possible methane leakage issues from LNG vessels during at-sea operations.

From exhaust gas to emissions result

Combining sensors, software and lab services in one integrated solution, Explicit provides a full service option for monitoring individual ship emissions compliance.

Smart Flight

Software tools to guide the pilots in navigating the plume using sensor, weather and AIS data to obtain the best possible sampling position.

Mini Sniffers

Pre-calibrated, easy to replace, units comprising SO₂, CO₂, NO, NO_x, temperature and humidity sensors. Calibrations according toISO standard 6145-1.

Emissions Lab

Advanced cloud-based central emissions analysis, quality control and data storage services. Access to emissions expert support.

Reporting

Online reporting with detailed emissions reports on all vessels, maps, and statistics tools for compliance analytics across datasets.

How it's done

Explicit’s Mini Sniffer System can be used on both crewed an uncrewed aircraft and in multiple locations to conduct airborne surveillance of maritime emissions. Click on the link to see how it’s done.

The EMSA RPAS programme

Since 2018 Explicit has been delivering key emissions monitoring capabilities to the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) as part of their RPAS operations programme. Managed and piloted by operating partners, Explicit delivers key sensor technology, emissions analysis expertise, and data provision to the operations. The RPAS are deployed in various locations in European waters. See the latest press release from EMSA below.
