Many CO₂e methodologies adhere to the standard calculation procedure.
We take it a step further.

Our proprietary routing algorithms and vast amount of data help us surpass standard methodologies, enabling optimal route search and accurate carbon emissions.

Database

Granularity of data

At Searoutes, data intelligence is at the core of what we do, and that is why we take pride in our algorithms, which rely on a robust database of historical AIS data. These algorithms are further enhanced with data inputs from +6k vessels, their technical information, carrier schedules, among others.

Scientific approach

Our engineering team continuously calibrates and fine-tune our models against reliable primary data. If your models don’t add up to existing primary data, we will make them evolve. This ongoing calibration ensures accuracy and transparency.

Network optimization

Routing optimization on the network

We give you valuable insights to minimize carbon footprint while optimizing operational and procurement efficiency. It also helps us to fill in the blanks of incomplete data with a business-savvy approach, allowing you to get the most accurate emissions insights your data can get.

Dynamic API results based on your inputs

The information you can provide are a crucial part of our CO₂e calculation models. Our ability to enhance data modeling depends also on your data inputs. To offer you the utmost accuracy in your carbon emissions, our methodology and powerful algorithms include:

  • Terrestrial and Satellite AIS data
  • Extensive base of carriers schedules
  • Vessels technical and operational information
  • Information on traffic separation schemes, piracy areas, and port entries
  • Fuel type analysis, including emission control areas at sea (ECA/SECA)
  • Factors Models
    Turning minimal data into great insights

    Factors Models

    Leveraging the latest GLEC and ISO standards, this model precisely computes carbon emissions for all transport modes.

    Elements considered:

    • Shortest feasible distance
    • Emission factors per tradelanes
    • Cargo characteristics (size, weight, dry or reefer, etc.)
    • Fuel types (and fuel switch for emissions control areas at sea)
    • Vehicule type (air, road and barge)
    • For air: GLEC emission factors based on the length (short, medium, long haul) of the flight and the aircraft type (passenger, cargo or unknown)
  • Historical model
    Navigate historical AIS data for journey-specific CO2 reporting

    Historical Model

    Powered by historical AIS data, this model rebuilds vessel itineraries and calculates CO₂e emissions for past shipments at vessel, carrier, or industry levels.

    Missing shipment details? No problem. We combine your data with ours to estimate likely routes and vessels, delivering precise CO₂ insights.

    Elements considered:

    • Actual distances
    • Port calls operated at a specific date for each vessel
    • Connecting vessels
    • Cargo characteristics
    • The fuel consumption model considers the vessel’s engine characteristics, fuel types, fuel switching in emissions control areas, and vessel characteristics for emissions allocation
  • Schedules model
    Ship smarter, ship greener: perceptive insights for planning strategy

    Schedules Model

    Built to empower shippers with data-driven carrier choices, this model calculates carrier-operated itineraries, including alliance services.

    For each itinerary, we compute CO₂e emissions of the vessels in service, providing comprehensive emission statistics.

    Elements considered:

    • Network distances
    • Cargo characteristics
    • The fuel consumption model considers the vessel’s engine characteristics, fuel types, fuel switching in emissions control areas, and vessel characteristics for emissions allocation
  • Vessel and Aircraft Models
    Get spot-on CO2e emissions with ship-specific data

    Vessel and Aircraft Models

    This solution returns CO₂e emissions between two locations, taking into account the exact characteristics of the requested ship to model its fuel consumption.

    Elements considered:

    • Shortest feasible distance
    • Cargo characteristics
    • For sea, fuel consumption model considers the characteristics of the vessel, fuel types, and fuel switch for emissions control areas.
    • For air, fuel consumption model considers take-off, landing, climbing, descent and cruising phases, and the aircraft characteristics for the allocation of the emissions (EEA/EMEP methodology and EUROCONTROL data).
  • Parcel Model
    Sharing is caring: minimize carbon footprint, maximize logistics efficiency

    Parcel Model

    Designed for milk run operations, it computes and assigns the right emissions to each order (parcel) of a pickup and delivery collection by road.

    This model, based on the HBEFA (handbook emission factors for road transport data), takes into account empty running distances along with load factor between each pickup/delivery location.

    Elements considered:

    • Shortest feasible distance between each location
    • As the crow flies distances between each location and the terminal location
    • Sequencing of the run
    • Cargo characteristics
    • Fuel type
