Redefining marine emission control with intelligent sensor technology.

Team discussing how to reduce operating costs in shipping

Reduce operating costs in shipping

Emission compliance is essential for global shipping – but it should not drive unnecessary operating costs. Shipowners and operators must balance strict regulatory requirements with efficient use of fuel, consumables, and maintenance resources –  while maintaining compliance under all operating conditions.

Inability to demonstrate continuous compliance exposes operators to regulatory findings, fines, and operational delays – increasing overall OPEX.

Reducing total cost of ownership

Danfoss IXA CEMS solutions reduce total cost of ownership by combining compliance assurance with operational efficiency. By turning emission data into actionable insight, ship owners and operators can optimize SCR operation, reduce reliance on external service interventions, and ensure continuous compliance when operating vessels in ECA zones.

Through onboard maintainability, spot-check capability, and optimized system control, our CEMS help reduce consumables, service visits, and lifecycle costs – while minimizing the financial risk of non-compliance.

Danfoss IXA CEMS reduce operating costs in vessel operations

Our In-situ CEMS solutions are designed to reduce operating costs across key areas of vessel operation.

Through optimized SCR control, onboard maintainability, and spot check capability, our CEMS solutions reduce consumables, service visits, and lifecycle cost – while maintaining continuous regulatory compliance.

Optimized urea consumptions

Minimized urea consumptions through precise dosing based on actual emission levels

Crew-friendly maintenance

Eliminates the need for costly external service technicians, reducing service expenses and operational disruptions.

Easy installation

Compact, single-unit design requiring only power, air, and data connection for fast, straightforward integration onboard.

Reduced risk of
non-compliance

Continuous monitoring and documentation reduce exposure to port state control findings, costly fines, and operational delays that can increase overall operating costs.

Spot check capability

Integrated spot check functionality available in our MARPOL version allows onboard verification of system performance and emission levels. This enables crew to validate compliance status at any time, identify deviations early, and take corrective action – reducing the need for external inspections and unplanned service.

Space saving
In-situ design

In-situ measurement eliminates the need for complex sampling systems – reducing footprint, system complexity, and maintenance requirements.

Technician refurbishing an analyzer to reduce operating costs

Cost effective Refurb Program

Danfoss IXA’s Refurb Program helps reduce operating costs by extending the lifetime of the emission monitoring equipment through high-quality refurbished analyzers.

Each refurbed unit is fully tested to meet Danfoss IXA performance standards, providing a reliable, cost-effective alternative to new equipment.

This approach lowers total cost of ownership, reduces unnecessary replacement costs, and supports a more sustainable, lifecycle-driven operation – without compromising quality or compliance.

Lower costs. Simpler operations. Reliable scrubber compliance.

That was the business case behind the Dole plc’s decision to adopt the MES 1002 scrubber CEMS application. Dole’s in-house ship management division, Reefership Marine Services, needed to reduce the total cost of ownership of their scrubber CEMS without compromising MARPOL compliance.

Mr. Akshaye Arora, Director Vessel Management at Dole, highlights the benefits:

Our previous CEMS performed well in the beginning, but maintenance costs climbed steadily over time – to the point where a change became the only sensible decision. The transition to MES 1002 was smooth, and the technical support from Danfoss IXA during installation and commissioning on Dole Pacific was first-class. We are very pleased with the system’s performance.
