As the maritime sector prepares for tighter environmental regulations, Virgin Voyages has introduced the NAPA Fleet Intelligence Environmental module to strengthen its sustainability reporting, KPI tracking, and compliance capabilities. 

Helsinki, Finland: Virgin Voyages has introduced NAPA’s new real-time environmental KPI reporting tool to strengthen its ability to monitor, analyze, and report environmental performance as the maritime sector prepares for tightening environmental regulations and ESG requirements. 

The new Environmental Module, part of NAPA Fleet Intelligence, was developed by the global provider of maritime software and data services in close collaboration with passenger ship operators, keeping the platform closely aligned to shoreside working requirements and shipboard crew needs. 

The data collated falls into four workable categories: 

a) Carbon, fuel and energy (including energy consumption, intensity, shore power use and renewable fuels)

b) Waste and waste discharge 

c) Water and wastewater management, and

d) Operational context, such as passengers carried, nautical miles travelled and port calls. 

These KPIs can be viewed over multiple time horizons – from daily performance to quarterly and annual trends – and exported for regulatory, ESG, and internal reporting purposes. All data is transferred to shore in near real time, enabling shoreside teams, including ESG, nautical compliance, energy and fuel management, fleet performance, as well as executive leadership, to work from a single, trusted source of truth. 

Reducing workload while improving data quality: By generating reports directly from shipboard data sources, the Environmental Module eliminates extra manual admin work such as data consolidation and re-entry of information, saving time, significantly reducing the risk of errors and improving transparency and auditability. This “record once, use many times” approach helps operators streamline workflows, accelerate reporting, and strengthen confidence for regulatory compliance and decision-making. 

“Environmental reporting has become both more important and more complex for the maritime industry. By integrating environmental KPIs directly into NAPA Fleet Intelligence, we help cruise operators, like Virgin Voyages, move from reactive reporting to proactive performance management, improving data quality while easing workload for crews and shoreside teams,” said Sami Koponen, Product Owner, Cloud, Safety Solutions, NAPA. 

As environmental regulations and reporting requirements continue to expand, including FuelEU Maritime, EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), IMO-DCS, and broader ESG frameworks, operators face growing pressure to deliver accurate, auditable data without adding administrative burden onboard or ashore.  

NAPA Fleet Intelligence’s Environmental Module addresses this challenge by turning operational source data directly into structured, reliable environmental KPIs, with the availability and global support model benefitting fleets that would like to scale its usage, as it can be adapted to provide bespoke requirements for operators.
