Lloyd’s Register, Seapeak, Kongsberg Maritime and Tunable have launched a joint development project to validate continuous emissions measurement technology onboard a new LNG carrier, aiming to provide more accurate compliance with IMO and EU greenhouse gas reporting frameworks. Announced at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, the trial will compare CEMS‑measured CO₂ emissions against engine test-bed data and default emission factors to assess the regulatory applicability of direct measurement.
Lloyd’s Register, LNG shipping company Seapeak, Kongsberg Maritime and gas-analysis specialist Tunable have announced a joint project to validate the accuracy of a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) installed on a new LNG carrier. The CEMS, incorporating Tunable’s gas analysis technology, will continuously measure CO₂ emissions from the vessel, and the recorded data will be benchmarked against engine test-bed results and standard emissions factors used in regulatory reporting. The main objective is to determine whether direct, continuous measurement can provide a robust basis for compliance under International Maritime Organization (IMO) greenhouse gas frameworks and EU emissions reporting regimes. The project was unveiled at Gastech 2026 in Bangkok, underlining the maritime sector’s growing focus on high-resolution emissions data as environmental rules tighten.
