SeaARCTOS has recently obtained Type Approval from Lloyd’s Register for the ARCTOS-1™ system, which monitors carbon dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO₂), and methane (CH₄) exhaust emissions from ships. The MARPOL-approved, shoebox-sized device measures emissions continuously, utilizing waste heat from the exhaust and weighing under 3.5 kg.
Installation is quick, requiring less than an hour and no specialized tools. CEO Fredrik Fuglesang emphasized that the system's efficiency and consistency are key to effective enforcement of regulations like FuelEU Maritime, the EU Emissions Trading System, and the IMO Net-Zero Framework. Technical support lead Tianxiang Li highlighted the importance of independent assurance for the maritime industry as regulations evolve.
The ARCTOS-1™ features an alarm system for tampering detection, encrypted data transmission, and a location-locked tracking system to prevent AIS spoofing. This allows port authorities and flag states to access sufficient and accurate data easily. Moreover, the system's real-time data benefits funders, shipowners, and stakeholders seeking to meet ESG targets and reduce Scope 3 emissions.
With this approval, SeaARCTOS ARCTOS-1™ is well-positioned to support the shipping industry's transition toward greener practices.
