  "summary": "KR (Korean Register) has officially endorsed ShipWatch's Vessel Performance Calculation Methodology, confirming its alignment with international standards ISO 15016:2015 and ISO 19030:2016. This Statement of Fact was presented to ShipWatch during SMM 2026 in Hamburg, Germany. The methodology, utilized by ShipWatch across various fleets operated by Navig8, ADNOC L&S, and others, covers day-to-day operations such as real-time tracking, emissions reporting, and voyage optimization. KR's technical review encompassed three key aspects: environmental data correction, performance indicator calculation, and the evaluation of changes in vessel performance. The review confirmed that the software adheres to the core performance-monitoring sequences established in ISO 19030:2016 and that its correction algorithms for environmental factors align with ISO 15016:2015. Daeheon Kim, Executive Vice President of KR's R&D Division, emphasized the importance of reliable and standardized vessel performance data in the maritime industry's decarbonization and digitalization efforts.",
