Hoppe Marine is pleased to announce a strategic cooperation with AVL Analytical Technologies to introduce a new generation of Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems for the maritime industry. The partnership combines Hoppe Marine‘s expertise in maritime instrumentation and digital vessel solutions with AVL Analytical Technologies‘ capabilities in emissions measurement technology and gas analysis expertise.

As environmental regulations continue to tighten, shipowners face growing pressure to deliver reliable emissions data while maintaining operational efficiency and controlling costs. Regulatory frameworks such as EU MRV, FuelEU Maritime and IMO DCS, together with increasing ESG reporting obligations, are driving demand for continuous, verifiable emissions monitoring.

Through their strategic cooperation, Hoppe Marine and AVL Analytical Technologies provide shipowners with a practical and cost-effective approach to continuous emissions monitoring and regulatory reporting. The joint offering delivers highly accurate emissions data, helping shipowners avoid compliance risks and gain actionable insights into vessel performance and fuel efficiency.

CEMS for GHG Reporting and Compliance – HOCEM GHG

The primary product line is designed to support continuous greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement and reporting at a time when regulatory and commercial pressure on shipowners is increasing significantly. With the introduction of FuelEU Maritime, tightening EU MRV requirements, ongoing IMO initiatives and growing ESG expectations from charterers, investors and financial institutions, reliable emissions data is becoming a strategic business requirement rather than a compliance exercise.

The solution supports shipowners in meeting monitoring, reporting and compliance requirements related to:

 EU MRV (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification)
 FuelEU Maritime
 IMO DCS (Data Collection System)
 Corporate sustainability and ESG reporting requirements

A key differentiator of this solution is its retrofit-friendly design. Unlike solutions that estimate emissions primarily from fuel consumption data and require significant modifications to existing fuel systems, HOCEM GHG (Hoppe Continuous Emission Measurement) can be installed much faster with substantially lower implementation effort. Shipowners benefit from highly accurate, continuously measured emissions data while reducing project complexity, minimizing vessel downtime, and lowering total installation costs.

Continuous measurement and automated data acquisition provide operators with transparent and verifiable emissions information, helping reduce reporting effort, avoid compliance risks and establish a trusted foundation for sustainability reporting and performance improvement initiatives.

Combined with Hoppe Marine’s onboard data acquisition and performance monitoring capabilities, emissions data can be correlated with fuel consumption, engine load and other relevant vessel operating parameters, providing operators with a more comprehensive view of energy consumption and emissions performance.

CEMS for Scrubber Performance Monitoring – HOCEM SC

The second product line focuses on the continuous monitoring and verification of exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers). The solution enables vessel operators to monitor scrubber efficiency in real time, supporting compliance with applicable environmental requirements while optimizing system performance. Continuous monitoring of key emission parameters provides early identification of operational deviations and supports reliable documentation of scrubber functionality.

Driving Compliance and Sustainability

“Over the past years, Hoppe Marine has built a comprehensive portfolio for measuring and optimizing onboard energy consumption. However, shipowners increasingly need more than operational data alone. They require reliable emissions information that supports regulatory compliance, ESG reporting and commercial decision- making. Direct and continuous emissions measurement was therefore the missing link. Together with AVL Analytical Technologies, we can now provide shipowners with a practical and retrofit-friendly solution that combines highly accurate emissions measurement with vessel performance data. This helps operators reduce installation complexity, improve transparency and unlock valuable opportunities for efficiency improvements and emissions reduction,” said Uwe Altenbach, Sales Manager at Hoppe Marine.

“Reliable emissions data is the foundation for effective emissions management. By combining AVL Analytical Technologies’ expertise in advanced emissions measurement and gas analysis with Hoppe Marine’s maritime know-how, we can provide shipowners with continuous, accurate and actionable emissions data,” said Patrick Ulmerich, Business Development Manager at AVL Analytical Technologies. “This enables operators not only to meet evolving regulatory requirements, but also to better understand and optimize their vessel’s emissions performance.”

The new CEMS portfolio reflects the shared commitment of both companies to deliver innovative technologies that help the maritime industry address environmental challenges, meet regulatory requirements, and advance decarbonization efforts.
