ZeroNorth and Veracity by DNV launch end-to-end emissions reporting and verification service for the maritime industry, with Teekay as first customer
Copenhagen,
ZeroNorth and Veracity by DNV have partnered to launch a fully integrated emissions reporting and verification service for the maritime industry. Teekay is the first customer that will be implementing the service across its fleet, following successful testing and development.
As regulatory requirements tighten, maritime operators face growing demands for emissions transparency and reporting integrity. At the same time, poor data quality remains an industry-wide challenge. The new offering combines ZeroNorth's Vessel Reporting and Emissions Analytics platform with the Veracity platform and DNV's Emissions Connect verification services to deliver an end-to-end compliance solution. The offering simplifies compliance by integrating automated data reporting with expert validation, reducing administrative burdens and improving data reliability.
A key differentiator is the multi-layered data quality feedback loop, which ensures emissions data undergoes rigorous validation at multiple stages. Verification warnings from Veracity by DNV are automatically flagged to ZeroNorth’s data quality team, which then works directly with vessel crews to resolve discrepancies before final submission to authorities. This reduces compliance risks and enhances regulatory confidence while supporting continuous monitoring of EU MRV, IMO DCS, CII ratings, EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime compliance.
Teekay, a long-standing customer of ZeroNorth, played a central role in shaping the solution by participating in early testing and providing operational feedback. Since its successful implementation with Teekay, the service has been rolled out to two additional customers, and further deployments are underway.
Commenting on the news, Anders Schulze, Chief Operations Officer at ZeroNorth, said: “The maritime industry faces growing pressure to ensure emissions data is not just reported, but verified to the highest standards. Yet fragmented systems and manual processes continue to undermine data quality and increase compliance risk. By combining ZeroNorth’s data and analytics capabilities with Veracity by DNV’s verification expertise, we are directly addressing this challenge. Our goal is to build trust in emissions data and reduce complexity for shipowners and charterers. We’re especially pleased that Teekay, a long-time partner, played a central role in shaping and validating the service.”
Mikkel Skou, Managing Director at Veracity by DNV, said: “At Veracity by DNV, the value of our ecosystem is built on strong partnerships, exemplified by our collaboration with ZeroNorth. By integrating trusted data and solutions like ZeroNorth's Vessel Reporting and Emissions Analytics platform, we create a robust network that supports collaboration and drives sustainable growth in the maritime industry. We look forward to continuing working towards our ambition to deliver trust and connectivity to the industry through this partnership with ZeroNorth.”
Mikkel Seidelin, Chief Commercial Officer at Teekay, said: “Our commitment to excellence extends beyond innovation. With our fully integrated shipping model, we derive more value from unified and deeply connected teams where all of our information, day-to-day operations, and goals, are aligned. To ensure we are maximising each department’s full potential, we closely work together as one, unified Teekay and embrace strategic partnerships that guarantee our success. Partnering with ZeroNorth improves our ability to navigate complexities seamlessly, leveraging on data and technology to optimise our performance and reduce inefficiencies. When we are equipped with verified, end-to-end data, it empowers us as owners towards seamless decision-making, resulting in real sustainable and operational target-achievements. Teekay will always seek out quality services that elevate the way we do things to fulfill our commitment to our customers, our people, and the planet.”
