DNV's Environmental Performance System is used by customers in many industries; it is as applicable for yards as it is for offshore operations. The Nauticus Air and Nauticus Environment setups of the system specifically measure operational impact from ships in operation, and are tailor-made for the maritime industry.

According to user feedback, the main advantages are the possibility of tailoring ’what to measure‘ to customer needs and also the simplicity in reporting. The companies that measure environmental performance are aware of the environmental impact and risks their operation presents, and are better prepared to manage them.

STX Norway Offshore has used Nauticus Environment for some years. It helps us register, document and report environmental factors. We are using the system at our five Norwegian shipyards and at the Vietnam yard.

The focus on our environment has increased substantially in recent years; by registering and documenting consumption, waste disposal and discharges from our production, we can evaluate the yards’ achievements on most important environmental indicators.

We have used Nauticus Environment in our work to keep environmental accounts. The gathering of all documentation has given us a unique possibility to measure the yards against each other and look at trend analyses and development. The system is useful for making our production more environmentally friendly. An important feature of the system is its simple reporting function, which makes it easy to compose a complete environmental report for the company.

Several elements of the system have been adjusted to meet our needs, and we have had a good dialogue with and support from DNV, both related to adjustments and to registering and reporting environmental factors.
