DNV, MPSF ink sign MoU to advance sustainability efforts

DNV has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Mumbai Port Sustainability Foundation (MPSF) to cooperate on activities and projects related to decarbonisation, digitalisation, emissions management, and safety.

The MPSF, through its Centre of Excellence on ESG and circularity, aims to support local ports and maritime companies in the enhancement of their overall sustainability through the adoption of advanced technologies and eco-friendly practices.

Under the MoU, DNV will provide MPSF with expert guidance and insights into industry needs, regulatory requirements, technological advancements, as well as safety and quality protocols in the maritime and energy sectors.

DNV experts will also work closely with MPSF to explore the commercial potential of low-carbon fuel bunkering, storage and transfer, among others.

Commenting on the occasion, Dr. R.D.Tripathi, CEO of Mumbai Port Sustainability Foundation (MPSF) said: “The joint working of DNV with MPSF through this MoU will facilitate in-depth analysis of issues and innovative solutions for overall sustainability and greening opportunities of the port operation.”

Adding to this, Cristina Saenz de Santa Maria, Regional Manager South East Asia, Pacific & India, Maritime at DNV, said: “This is a transformative period for India’s maritime sector and we’re excited to be partnering with MPSF on this journey towards greener port operations.

“This MoU represents a significant step forward in developing and modernising port infrastructure to support the transition to cleaner energy sources. It reflects our shared commitment to driving innovation, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient maritime future.”

Late last year, DNV published a suite of recommended practices (RPs) that will enable companies operating critical devices, assets, and infrastructure to safely apply artificial intelligence (AI).

More recently, digital solutions provider, zero44, and Veracity, the independent maritime cloud platform from DNV, announced a partnership to jointly support their customers with the EU Emission Trading System (EU ETS).
