Accelleron has secured Products & Solutions certification from ClassNK for two digital tools within its LOREKA360° suite, strengthening independent recognition of the company’s maritime technology capabilities.

The certification covers Tekomar XPERT Engine, an engine diagnostics and performance platform, and Emissions Desk, a compliance and reporting tool. Together, the solutions are deployed on around 3,000 vessels, supporting operators with fuel-efficiency monitoring, emissions reporting and operational decision-making.

“This certification provides valuable independent recognition of the data processing and analytical functions of Tekomar XPERT Engine and Emissions Desk,” said Shailesh Shirsekar, Accelleron’s head of global operations and sales digital solutions. He said the certification would support wider adoption of the solutions among shipowners and operators in Japan and globally.

ClassNK’s Innovation Endorsement framework provides third-party certification for innovative initiatives, including digital solutions. Accelleron received the Products & Solutions certification following an examination of functions covering data acquisition, data handling and analytics, alongside relevant security documentation.

Tekomar XPERT Engine assesses engine performance and provides instant advisory, giving operators visibility into engine operation and optimisation opportunities. The platform is designed to work with engines of different makes and sizes and allows performance to be benchmarked across vessels and fleets.

Emissions Desk converts vessel data into compliance reports and operational insights designed to help reduce emissions. It uses data from Tekomar XPERT Engine alongside analysis by experienced mariners to provide emissions advisory and reporting compatible with multiple regulatory frameworks, including IMO and EU requirements.

The software can also transfer relevant emissions data directly to the ClassNK MRV Portal, supporting regulatory reporting processes.

LOREKA360° also includes OptiNav AI, a voyage optimisation solution using shore-based human oversight, and OptiHull, which focuses on hull and propeller performance. The modules can be deployed individually or as an integrated fleetwide solution.
