ChartCo, a maritime digital data and compliance services supplier, announced the launch of Version 5.4 of EnviroManager. Enviromanager aims to facilitate vessels’ operators comply with MARPOL regulations for discharges and emissions.
The latest version of the EnviroManager platform incorporates all the updated Ballast Water and Sediments Convention information, including national designated BWEA (Ballast Water Exchange Areas) which are monitored by ChartCo and will be updated.
Furthermore, the new system includes the baseline information for each nation, as well as arrangements for the North-East Atlantic, the Baltic Sea Area, the Mediterranean Sea and the ROPME Sea Area.
EnviroManager will define numerous types of discharge, such as bilge water, sewage, air emissions, garbage, food waste and ballast. A colour indicator will notify the crew when discharge is allowed depending in the area that the vessel is at the time.
“EnviroManager operates using a GPS feed to show regulations at any given position. A regularly updated geographic database includes all agreed national and international baselines. By using symbols for every presented regulation, EnviroManager is very easy to use, helping the crew to plan the handling of waste efficiently and minimising the risk of a faulty discharge,” ChartCo mentioned.
