OceanOpt’s partnership with Veracity by DNV marks a significant step forward in addressing the maritime industry’s complex regulatory landscape,” said Anil Jacob, Managing Director of OceanOpt. “By connecting OceanOpt to the Veracity cloud, we also integrate with DNV’s Emissions Connect, where customers can generate voyage statements for EU ETS. With this at hand, our customers can meet the regulatory requirements in time, as well as comply with various Charter party clauses. Our well-defined approach frees our customers from the burdens of data management and empowers them to focus on strategic growth. Further on, OceanOpt’s data management service provides actionable insights for our clients to be able to significantly reduce carbon tax costs while ensuring regulatory compliance. By combining our expertise with DNV’s, we are empowering shipping companies to achieve operational efficiency, reduce emissions, and build a sustainable future.”
