Managing compliance with marine environmental regulations across a fleet is a complex undertaking for ship owners and operators. With an increasing number of rules and restrictions governing the world’s waters, maritime companies need access to regulations in effect in and around their voyage routes, to prevent faulty emissions, discharges, and other violations.

There are many regulations to track and abide by depending on the vessel type, its equipment, systems, cargo and above all, location. The majority of constraints related to pollution from ships come into effect in

specific areas, a fact that underscores the need for precise situational awareness.

Keeping track of all regulations, determining relevance, and ensuring that operations are adjusted accordingly is time-consuming, labour-intensive and risks errors. Even the most experienced mariner can misunderstand a baseline or forget to account for a protected marine habitat along a route. These common errors can lead to illegal discharges or prohibited presence in restricted zones, potentially resulting in heavy fines and devastating environmental implications.
