Curious about how the maritime industry affects the environment? Do you know how environmental monitoring systems work? Water, air, and noise quality affect all forms of life, and environmental awareness is the key to understand how to make maritime activities more attractive and helpful for surrounding communities. As the world population becomes more aware of its ecological footprint, maritime actors such as ports and shipping companies need to understand the environmental impacts of their activities.
Sinay’s founder, Yanis Souami, brings to light the issues of noise pollution in the Mediterranean Sea. Sinay, among a few other actors such as bioacoustics
The four types of environmental monitoring: air quality, water quality, noise quality, and biodiversity. Environmental monitoring is composed of tools and techniques that identify, analyze,
Air quality is important to everyday life and human health. Measuring and monitoring air quality thus has an important impact on surrounding communities. Governments across
Ports and the shipping industry both impact short- and long-term air quality; however, both players can take action to improve their harmful emissions near coastal
Air Quality is the condition of how clean or polluted the surrounding air is. Air pollution is present in ports and surrounding cities. If left
Dredging is essential for ports to remain in operation. However, understanding why and how dredging works can be complicated. Therefore, we will explain the purpose
Ports, the center of maritime-based business activities and crucial to the economic development of their surrounding area, are a major actor of the shipping industry.
From Ports to Fishing, Marine Protected Areas to Rivers and Inland Waterways, water quality monitoring is critical to identifying problems and tackle pollution.
Water quality is one of the most important indicators in a healthy ecosystem. Good quality water sustains human life, wildlife and marine life and is
Managing stormwater using digital data systems is enabling ports to step ahead – benefiting both the environment and helping them to grow their business capacity.
Ports see the benefits of real-time monitoring to drive efficiency
Following this period of a health pandemic, if there was one lesson to be learned from so many others, it is that no market is
Monitor air quality in real-time, be alerted when a threshold is reached & easily comply with regulation thanks to the automated reports.
Monitor underwater life with its diversity and composition, to avoid human impacts and preserve the oceans.
Visualize as layers key geographical information among maritime data to consolidate them.
Monitor water quality in real-time, predict and avoid water pollution & comply with regulations thanks to the automated reports.
Map underwater noise and prevent human impacts on cetaceans and fisheries resources.
The Fish Price App by Sinay makes your daily life easier and gives you free access to all the fish prices by species and by market, in just a few clicks.
Control in real-time and reduce aerial noises thanks to alerting systems.
We may not always realize it, but the environment affects us every day both long term and short term.
As 90 percent of goods are shipped by sea, evidently the maritime sector has a big impact on economic activity and equally a big impact on the environment. With maritime activities and environmental impacts increasing every year, we must care more about the Earth’s health.
When ports and shipping companies focus on reducing their environmental impacts, they also increase their business efficiency. For example, when shipping companies use less fuel or other sources of energy, they are reducing their environmental impact while decreasing costs. When ports focus on reducing port congestion, they reduce fuel emissions which helps the surrounding community, yet they also make their port more efficient. Caring for the environment in fact cultivates economic growth while positively impacting the human population, marine life, and wildlife.
The maritime industry must also prepare for non-renewable resources to continue to decrease. They must therefore use renewable and less harmful energy sources. This switch is often digital, encompassing Smart Ports and Smart Ships.
Human health, natural resources, the ecosystem, economic growth, and future generations are all impacted by how we treat our environment.
Environmental monitoring uses real-time data, Artificial Intelligence, and advanced monitoring systems connected to sensors to give key environmental indicators so that maritime actors can reduce pollution and decrease environmental impacts. These key indicators help measure air, water, and noise pollution.
Digitalization and real-time data allow maritime actors to more efficiently measure environmental impacts than with past techniques that only use sampling and lab tests.
Environmental monitoring helps maritime actors to assess risk and generate risk assessment and impact reports. It also helps maritime actors to have more support from the surrounding community.
Environmental monitoring reduces the short-term and long-term environmental impacts of maritime activities, contributing to more national support for ports and shipping companies.
Digital automated monitoring systems are essential for the future of maritime activities and the future of the impact on air, water, and noise quality for the human population.
The demand for environmental monitoring is increasing worldwide, and there exist many types of environmental monitoring analyses including water quality monitoring, air quality monitoring, and noise quality monitoring.
