General information

Short Summary
A Bulgarian company in the field of maritime and sustainability technology has developed a near-real-time, AI-powered maritime emissions monitoring, forecast and compliance platform. The solution helps maritime, port and terminal stakeholders automate emission monitoring, analysis, meeting EU regulatory requirements and improve operational sustainability. The company is seeking partners - such as port authorities, terminals, shipping companies, for pilot demonstrations and co-development.
Full Description
The company offers a near real-time platform for advanced monitoring, attribution, and quantification of greenhouse gas emissions from vessels, terminals, and port operations. Using proprietary artificial-intelligence-powered data fusion, the system integrates remote sensing data, onboard measurements, and port activity logs to generate high-resolution emission profiles for regulated and emerging pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, methane, ammonia, ultrafine particles, black carbon, and particulate matter.
The platform supports harmonised, automated protocols for data collection, verification, and secure, tamper-proof reporting — enabling operational transparency, audit readiness, and regulatory enforcement. Designed to address both current and upcoming European Union legislation — including the European Union Emissions Trading System, Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Regulation, FuelEU Maritime Regulation, and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive — as well as International Maritime Organization requirements, the system also supports risk-based surveillance, emissions-based incentive mechanisms, and early forecasting of emission levels. It is interoperable with port data platforms and offers flexible, adaptable emission-calculation methodologies with reporting visibility at berth, terminal, and vessel levels.
The company seeks pilot partners across Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Asia-Pacific region to validate the platform in live operational environments. Ideal collaborators include port authorities, shipping operators, environmental research institutes, and public agencies involved in maritime compliance, air-quality monitoring, or decarbonisation strategies. The goal is to co-develop use cases, demonstrate cross-port comparability, and ensure replicability of the platform in support of the European Green Deal, Zero-Emission Waterborne Transport ambitions, and Climate-Neutral Cities objectives.
Advantages and Innovations
Key advantages include:

● Near real-time monitoring and AI-based attribution of emissions at vessel, terminal, and port level

● Integration of remote, onboard, and static sensing sources

● Harmonised and regulation-ready protocols for emission data reporting

● Interoperable with smart port and smart city platforms (aligned with Common Command and Control Center standards)

● Prepared for emissions tracking from alternative fuels

● Secure, tamper-proof infrastructure suitable for compliance and legal traceability

● Enables risk-based enforcement and emissions-based decision-making (e.g., rebates)
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The company is currently looking for partners for piloting the platform in live environments.

Types of partners sought:
