EMMA: Environmental Maritime Modelling & Analytics is an innovative Smart Shipping solution that transforms how we understand, visualise, and manage maritime emissions and their impact on coastal environments. Maritime transport is vital to the UK economy but contributes significantly to air and water pollution in port areas and coastal communities. While existing tools like the DfT Maritime Emissions Model provide valuable fleet-level emissions forecasts, they don't show how these emissions interact with local environments. EMMA fills this critical gap with a sophisticated predictive modeling system that functions like a "weather forecast" for maritime emissions. Led by OceanOS with partners B4T Group, Satellite Application Catapult (SAC) and University of Plymouth, EMMA will create a cutting-edge AI-powered data service that integrates multiple historic and real-time data streams to predict how vessel emissions disperse and concentrate in specific locations. The system integrates vessel tracking information (AIS), oceanographic conditions (currents, waves), meteorological data (wind, temperature), and ground-truth measurements from air quality sensors and satellite observations. EMMA will deliver high-resolution geospatial visualisation(s) of maritime emission patterns, providing insight into: * Where emissions concentrate in port areas and coastal communities; * Determine emissions attributable to port activity and those originating from Europe/Africa; * How changing weather and ocean conditions affect emission dispersion; * The cumulative impact of multiple vessels operating in proximity; and * Seasonal and temporal patterns of emission concentration. Piloting in Plymouth Sound we have access to multiple ports and harbours, including Cattewater Port Authority and ABP, as well as input from Plymouth City Council. We will develop data streams that integrate into existing system architecture to enable evidence-based decision-making. Port authorities can schedule vessel movements to minimise emission hotspots, city planners can better understand air quality impacts on nearby communities, and vessel operators can optimise routes to reduce environmental footprints. The 7-month project will deliver a functional prototype of the EMMA data layers (geospatial maps), validation against ground-truth measurements, and case studies demonstrating tangible environmental and operational benefits. Following successful demonstration, the service will be commercialised as a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) accessible to port authorities, maritime operators, local/national governments, and environmental agencies. By bringing new levels of understanding and precision to maritime emissions management, EMMA supports the UK's transition to cleaner shipping while creating new commercial opportunities through optimised operations, reduced compliance costs, and innovative data services. This project represents a significant step forward in applying Smart Shipping technologies to create environmental and economic benefits for UK maritime stakeholders.

Tomorrow's decarbonised vessel fleet will require data-rich operation to cope with revolutionary scale shift in all-electric propulsion, on-board battery storage, and alt-fuels. An up-tick in maritime data is vital for: * Optimal efficiency, essential to meet environmental and economic levels of performance * Low-carbon propulsion technologies, notably batteries, whose enduring state-of-health is not well understood * Autonomy trend towards total de-crewing; * Advancing maritime-scale "EV-charging" aka Shore Power **BOSSLEVEL** - **B**attery **O**ptimisation **S**ensor **S**ystems and **L**ocal **E**nvironmental and **V**essel **E**ngineering **L**earnings - explores data frontiers of shipping of the next two decades, where on-board, sensory Big Data and AI enable stadium-scale decarbonisation. Our cutting-edge SME and Academic team will deliver an evidence-based feasibility study of on-board sensor and data acquisition networks with AI-based analytics, focussing on the pivotal battery energy storage systems (BESS). We have chosen BESS, an increasing maritime cost centre, to address the experience of early adopters who are reporting unexpectedly high degradation and serious consequence on vessel economics. To maintain the pace of maritime decarbonisation, a solution to this barrier is needed with urgency. BOSSLEVEL team brings on world-leading, cross-sector electric vehicle (EV) experience to maritime batteries. Although contrasting duty cycles and operation, there is huge potential to learn from EV battery monitoring and management approaches. BOSSLEVEL will produce a reference design case study based on an existing vessel, highlighting compliance factors that frame future commercialisation planning. Technology explorations of Big Data generation, communications and processing provide cost-benefit evidence to support the investment case. Analysis extends to environmental impact of the wider vessel and port on CO2e and Air Quality. B4T, MSE International, Hydro-Surv and SwanBarton bring cutting-edge IoT(Internet-of-Things), UAV(Unmanned Autonomous Vessel) and BESS experience, powered by world-class academic research from University of Portsmouth and Warwick Manufacturing Group, to this crucial maritime innovation study.

B4T and University of Portsmouth are collaborating to monitor gaseous nitrogenous pollutants from wastewater and agriculture by developing a unique set of miniaturised, low-cost sensors and software for farmers and utility operators to monitor emissions. This will focus on N2O in particular as it is a potent greenhouse gas whose management is an important part of Net Zero strategies for the targeted sectors. Realtime information from rural locations is processed, simply and effectively visualised, to have wide appeal and make decision support effective. Hampshire-based B4T are a product design house specialising in IoT (internet-of-things) technology who will deliver best-of-breed Man-o-War sensors, already used in horticulture with technology developed for Maritime Air Quality. They will further innovate their software to process the IoT sensor output into meaningful Big Data as part of an auditable Blockchain. University of Portsmouth School of Civil Engineering and Surveying will undertake field trials, using the facilities of the Environmental Technology Field Station (ETFS) at a wastewater treatment plant in Hampshire, to validate and seek accreditation for the sensors. This will also involve developing deployment protocols for assessing whole site and individual unit process level emissions. B4T and University of Portsmouth have previously collaborated on Renewables-based Maritime projects in Hydrogen and Shore Power, where Air Quality monitoring was a key outcome.

The climate crisis and ever expanding population push UK water push demand over the supply edge by 2040 unless we change societal, production and industrial behaviours. Smart Water Metering, widely acknowledged as a key defender of UK water supply. However, only 3% of UK properties have a Smart Water Meter and national roll-out is the choice of local water companies. New to market Jellyfish sensor is shaking up Smart Water Metering by up-cycling existing assets to reduce landfill and cost. Good news, but adoption is not a slam-dunk as there is no desirable interface for consumers to connect with their water usage. Jellyfish inventors, B4T, pair up with Fruitful Studios to bottle the human experience and produce a design that will enchant and engage UK consumers to change demand behaviour, eliminate leakage and ultimately secure UK Water supply for decades to come. UK Government, through regulators, OFWAT, DeFRA, Environmental Agency and National Infrastructure Strategy has set out big themes around Water Supply that reflect big societal themes in United Nations 17 sustainable development goals.

Scalability, affordability and adaptability are paramount to the adoption of low carbon fuel sources within the maritime sector. Maritime operations are paramount to the efficient movement of goods nationally and globally but are often high contributors of CO2e emissions and air pollutants. The adoption of decentralised energy systems offers the potential to support the necessary transition of ports and their operations to a net-zero with carbon and climate positive. The 'Shipping, Hydrogen & Ports Ecosystems UK' (**SHAPE UK**) project aims to demonstrate an achievable modular green hydrogen generation system within Portsmouth International Port (**PIP**) delivering a decision support tool that will enable port managers to determine the environmental and economic use cases for hydrogen generation and utilisation. This project will be a catalyst and early foundation programme for the Solent Freeport innovation hub to build upon. It will address the barriers to installing Hydrogen (**H2**) generators within the maritime landscape. Modular H2 electrolysers offer flexibility and adaptability to expand production capability and utilise excess renewable electricity as it is generated, but the current high cap-ex costs can prohibit their adoption. This is combined with the emerging regulatory frameworks for the generation/ storage and utilisation as a marine fuel source. The work undertaken here aims to determine the utilisation of a modular electrolyser within an active port. A digital twin of the port will be created that can be reproduced for other ports: existing and emerging data from the port and its activities will be combined with the data gathered from the working electrolyser. This software will then be utilised with key stakeholder ports across the UK to determine the economic and environmental suitability of deploying H2 systems within their operations. A retrofitted common diesel outboard to utilise up to 99% H2 and 1% diesel will demonstrate a use case for the portside hydrogen for their support fleet. The regulatory landscape around which the electrolyser and the use of H2 in fleet vehicles will be reviewed and analysed, determining where deployment can immediately occur and where regulations need to be addressed.
