Market gap

Every Port Has Operational Software.
None Have a Decarbonisation Strategy Engine.

Port management systems track container moves. Sustainability directors track emissions in spreadsheets. Metivar connects them — and goes further.

⚙ What exists today — generic tools
Navis / Kaleris TOS
Vessel scheduling, yard management, gate ops. Zero port-side decarbonisation planning.
Plan A / Persefoni / IBM Envizi
Generic carbon accounting. No port sector vertical. No IMO integration. No pathway modelling.
McKinsey / BCG consulting
$500K–$2M per engagement. Static PDF output. Outdated the day it is delivered.
Excel + manual research
What most port sustainability directors use today. Weeks of work per analysis cycle. No live financial modelling.
✓ Metivar — built exclusively for ports
Port-specific GHG inventory
GHG Protocol Scope 1/2/3 with EPA emission factors, IMO DCS vessel data, CHE unit-level register. Built for ports, not adapted from generic tools.
Live pathway financial modelling
IRR, payback, and savings recalculate instantly as you adjust diesel price, carbon price, and H₂ cost. Not a static spreadsheet.
Regulatory compliance calendar
CARB, EPA, AIM Act, IMO — every deadline with RAG status, countdown timers, fine exposure, and required action. Role-specific.
Full grant advisory stack
EPA Clean Ports, MARAD PIDP, DOE H₂ Hub, IRA 45V/48C/179D — all mapped to your port with eligibility and stack optimisation.
CDP, SEC, and CSRD export ready
Disclosure exports with methodology documentation. Market-based Scope 2, dual disclosure, SBTi additionality — built for auditors.

Regulatory urgency

Decarbonisation Is Not a Sustainability Question.
It Is a Capital Allocation Decision.

Metivar tracks every deadline — federal, international, and commercial — and maps the specific actions and fine exposure for your port and role.

2025
AIM Act — R-404A Production Restriction
High-GWP refrigerant R-404A (GWP 3922) production and import restricted from 2025. Tenants using R-404A face retrofit requirement. Metivar tracks refrigerant type and flags compliance with retrofit cost estimate.

2026
EPA Clean Ports — H1 Progress Report
Grantees must report January–June 2026 activities to EPA by July 2026. Non-compliance risks grant clawback. Metivar tracks milestone status and report requirements.
Grantees only
2027
Electric RTG Delivery Window
24–36 month manufacturing backlog means orders placed in 2025 arrive 2027. Every quarter of delay is a quarter of lost fuel savings and CARB compliance risk. Metivar flags lead-time criticality in the Decision Agent.

2028
CARB At-Berth — 80% Shore Power Target
80% of calling container, RoRo, and reefer vessels must connect to shore power or use CARB-approved equivalent. Fine: $10,000–$25,000 per non-compliant vessel call. Metivar tracks your connection rate and projects compliance trajectory.
$10K/vessel fine
2028
Maersk / MSC Preferred Terminal Criteria
Shipping lines applying ZE terminal scoring from 2026. Shore power rate, ZE CHE %, and carbon intensity are weighted. Below threshold means volume reallocation risk. Metivar tracks your score against published criteria.
Commercial risk
2030
IMO 2030 — 20% GHG Intensity Reduction
Indicative checkpoint vs 2008 baseline. Shipping lines managing CII compliance will prioritise ZE-ready ports. Infrastructure decisions in 2025–2028 determine port positioning.
Strategic
2050
IMO Net-Zero by or Close to 2050
International shipping net-zero by 2050. Capital decisions made in 2025–2030 determine whether your port is stranded or positioned as a preferred ZE hub for the next generation of vessel operations.
