Russian researchers developed a service which leverages artificial intelligence to evaluate the carbon footprint of vessels navigating the Northern Sea Route.

The assessment is based on data analysis related to engine power, vessel routes, and other parameters. The collaboration between the Marine Research Center at Lomonosov Moscow State University and Morintech company facilitated the creation of this AI-powered service.

The system processes data from an automated identification system that records vessel tracks, speeds, and other metrics. It calculates fuel consumption, taking into account data from previous voyages, and converts the fuel usage over a specific period into CO2 emission estimates.

The results are displayed on an interactive map, allowing for real-time monitoring of emissions from each ship and helping to mitigate their environmental impact. This project is particularly significant given the record levels of cargo transport along the Northern Sea Route.

The potential to expand the service to other maritime areas could enable monitoring and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in shipping  globally, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly shipping industry.
