PortXchange, a B-Corp Company committed to environmental sustainability, has been one among the top five finalist to be shortlisted for the Technology of the Year in the esteemed Marine Propulsion, Decarbonisation Award 2024. This award recognizes cutting-edge advancements in marine propulsion technology that drive sustainability and environmental responsibility within the maritime sector. 
PortXchange is committed to environmental sustainability and embraces socially responsible and ethical business practices throughout its entire value chain; this commitment is exemplified by its two innovative green tech solution award entries, EmissionInsider and Synchroniser.
EmissionInsider is a pioneering solution that tracks, analyses and reports scope 3 emissions from trucks, rail freight and vessels, providing ports with a comprehensive pathway to achieving zero emissions. By prioritizing data-driven decarbonization initiatives, EmissionInsider assists ports in meeting their environmental targets more swiftly and supplies critical data to facilitate corrective actions in existing plans. This technology significantly enhances sustainability efforts, enabling ports to become more environmentally responsible.
Synchronizer optimizes port calls by utilizing the latest terminal updates to ensure just-in-time arrivals and real-time berth planning updates. By enabling informed decisions and eliminating unnecessary idle time, Synchronizer calculates the optimal speed to reach the pilot boarding place on a time based on the latest ETA berth, allowing vessels to proceed directly to the terminal upon arrival. This technology revolutionizes port and shipping operations, promoting efficiency and reducing emissions.
Both Marine Propulsion technologies entries highlight how PortXchange drives sustainability and environmental responsibility within the maritime sector.
“We are honoured to be shortlisted for the Technology of the Year Award,” said Sjoerd de Jager, CEO of PortXchange. This recognition underscores and recognizes our dedication to fostering sustainable and responsible practices within the maritime industry. Both EmissionInsider and Synchronizer represent significant strides in our mission to support ports and the maritime sector worldwide in their journeys towards decarbonization.”

PortXchange’s award-winning Emission Insider sets the gold standard for emissions tracking and analysis, driving ports towards net-zero emissions; EmissionInsider monitors and analyses a port’s carbon footprint, pinpointing pollutant sources and hotspots.
The solution enables port users to evaluate multiple “what-if” scenarios using specific port data, assessing the potential impact of decarbonization plans on air quality before implementation.
