Danish shipping line Ultranav is launching a six-month trial with Signol – a behaviour change service designed to encourage fuel-saving practices among crewmembers.
Used on 19 vessels across Ultranav, the trial with Signol is an additional initiative aimed at saving fuel and lowering emissions.
Signol is a tech-enabled behaviour change service that helps shipping companies fully engage crews in reducing emissions through their daily tasks. By using behavioural science, Signol claims to motivate and engage crewmembers to make more sustainable and fuel-efficient decisions. This is achieved through behaviour change techniques delivered via a web app and targeted emails. Examples include:
Signol claims its techniques have reduced fuel consumption and emissions by 4-12% for maritime clients.
“We recognise the significant potential in Signol’s service and firmly believe that every tonne of saved CO2 counts. Even small adjustments to our daily routines can contribute to the overall goal,” said Bas Blaak, Ultranav’s head of energy efficiency and sustainability.
In 2024, Ultranav participated in the investment round for Signol, a company that claims to have already saved aviation and shipping customers $25m in fuel costs and more than 100,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
