Managing emissions reporting and performance monitoring just got easier!  Did you know the ClassNK ZETA platform now offers NAPA Fleet Intelligence modules? This integration offers shipowners and operators a unified digital solution for compliance, analytics, and optimization. With a single data flow and shared platform, crews can reduce manual reporting, ensure regulatory compliance, and make data-driven decisions to enhance fleet efficiency.

NAPA is a long-term development partner for ClassNK ZETA, so combining its strengths in ship performance modeling and voyage optimization with ClassNK’s deep regulatory expertise was a logical step forward.

Operational data from ships is now only shared once and used for performance analytics. This eliminates duplication of effort, removes redundant reporting workflows, and reduces administrative workload for seafarers and shoreside staff – all with no need for special training.

Reporting on the rise

This update comes at a time when regulations are putting increasing pressure on shipowners and operators to provide more and higher-quality data on their operations. This reporting, in turn, adds more tasks to seafarers’ and shoreside teams’ already busy workloads. 

Regulations like FuelEU Maritime and the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), as well as evolving IMO requirements, are designed to shift the dial on maritime decarbonisation. However, one unintended consequence has been a significant increase in vessel and fleet emissions reporting, with data often required in different technical formats, uploaded to different systems. 

Digitalization is helping shipowners and operators, and their teams, stay ahead. Digital solutions help to ensure transparency and efficiency as regulatory reporting ramps up – allowing crews to focus on other priorities, such as maintaining safe operations. To help you get the most out of this new integration, we’ve answered some of the most common questions below.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main benefits for users? 

The integration between ClassNK ZETA and NAPA Fleet Intelligence delivers:

• Reduced manual work: Automated data transfer eliminates double entry. 
• Improved data quality: Consistent, validated data across both systems. 
• Enhanced analytics: Access to combined performance and compliance data. 

Do I need separate systems for emissions reporting and performance monitoring? 

ClassNK ZETA users can view both the emissions verification status issued by the ClassNK Verifier and the NAPA Fleet Intelligence module, which offers advanced ship performance monitoring and simulation capabilities within the same platform. 

How does this help with EU ETS, FuelEU Maritime, and IMO requirements? 

Emission calculations are updated in a timely and reliable manner according to the latest regulations. Users can also minimize FuelEU Maritime penalties by applying the compliance measure optimization algorithm developed by ClassNK and NAPA. 

Additionally, customers can simulate and monitor the impact of future voyages on their FuelEU, and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) performances. These highly accurate simulations, which allow you to simulate different compliance scenarios before making decisions, are built on NAPA’s advanced ship performance model, weather routing and voyage optimization technology. 

How does the data flow work? 

• APIs are used for secure, automated data transfer. 
• Data validation and parsing are performed to ensure consistency and accuracy. 

Can charterers and ship owners access the same trusted data set for transparency? 

Yes, ClassNK ZETA enables both shipowners and charterers to access data within the same platform free of charge, and they can also get the additional simulation functionality provided by NAPA Fleet Intelligence with a subscription. At the same time, data access rights can be fully controlled by the data owner. Each organization can configure which modules or data types (e.g., FuelEU, voyage, or emissions data) are visible to specific stakeholders, ensuring commercial confidentiality is protected.

NAPA also supports template customization for onboard reporting tools, allowing multiple vessel types or mixed fleets to easily be managed by all the stakeholders involved.    

Is there an additional cost to access NAPA Fleet Intelligence modules on ZETA? 

There is no additional cost for using the basic emission monitoring functionality in ClassNK ZETA. This feature is provided free of charge. However, access to advanced modules – such as NAPA Voyage Optimization, Technical Performance, and Charter Party – requires a subscription.
