Smart Ship Hub achieves industry first with American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) emission reporting
Leading vessel optimisation platform Smart Ship© Hub is delighted to announce its partnership with AL Group – comprising Asiatic Lloyd in Singapore and Atlantic Lloyd in Hamburg - achieving an industry first for emissions reporting.
The Smart Ship© Hub platform has been deployed across the entire fleet of AL Group leveraging high frequency data with historical ad legacy data to streamline automated digital live emission reporting with the American Bureau of Shipping,
AL Group is the first ship owner and ship manager to achieve this on the ABS emission platform, and is one of the first few companies to rollout a digital roadmap with help from Singapore headquartered Smart Ship© Hub. With the rollout across the fleet, the company becomes the flag bearer for data driven actionable insights across condition-based maintenance, emissions management, and automated data quality management for high frequency sensor data, we well human generated process data. This collaboration ensures enhanced accuracy, operational ease, and complete regulatory compliance for emissions reporting.
Tonci Zdunic Group Fleet Director and K Rajasegaran, Senior Technical Manager at AL Group were instrumental in leading the rollout of this technology in their fleet.
Mr Zdunic said: “Our collaboration with Smart Ship Hub has unlocked value across technical, commercial and regulatory front. We monitor and control performance of our vessels on real-time analysing of HF sensor data and benchmarking against our company KPIs. We drove KPI and outcome-based success criteria from the beginning. We are delighted to say that we are now at par or ahead of the top 1% that has gone through the full cycle of digital transformation. With Smart Ship Hub, we have significantly raised the bar for automated compliance, data quality management and regulatory filing”
CEO of Smart Ship Hub Joy Basu said: “The all-in-one Smart Ship© Hub digital platform addressing high frequency sensor data as well as automating noon reports, ensuring auto data quality checks, provides a broad spectrum of modular capabilities for our esteemed customers.
“We are delighted see that AL Group has become the first ship owner and manager to utilise the live emission reporting through the ABS platform. Smart Ship© Hub is committed to providing a digital roadmap for companies to lay out their digitalisation plans to ensure they remain competitive as the industry moves towards a data-driven new digital era.”
ABS’s integration with Smart Ship© Hub is a validation from a leading body highlighting the need for high quality data, automation digital platforms and robust technology platforms such as Smart Ship© Hub.
The ABS emissions management platform has provided:
Three-Level Data Validation: Smart Ship Hub’s Vessel Reporting System (VRS) ensures over 95% data accuracy, significantly reducing human error and manual intervention.
Plug-and-Play Deployment: The system can be remotely installed on any vessel's existing onboard computer without hardware upgrades—making it operational within minutes at no additional cost.
Self-Updating Regulatory Engine: VRS automatically upgrades and updates itself with the latest rules and regulatory requirements, eliminating owner concerns about outdated submissions and ensuring ongoing compliance without manual effort.
The successful implementation of VRS across AL Group fleet showcases maritime industry's digital shift toward automated, scalable, and regulation-ready solutions that support sustainability and compliance objectives.
