ADVANCED DELIVERY PLATFORM (ADP)
Advanced Delivery Platform (ADP) is an innovative solution
comprised of integrated hardware and software developed
by Mercuria Technology Ventures. ADP provides a
completely transparent and efficient bunker delivery service
that reduces costs and risks. Maritime and Port Authority of
Singapore (MPA) has added ADP to its list of approved
bunkering solutions, in recognition of the importance of
digital bunkering and its improved efficiency and
productivity, increased transparency and enhanced crew
safety.
VALIDERE
We have progressed in our emissions reporting by
partnering with Validere, a third-party emissions
management software provider, backed by a team of
qualified sustainability and technology experts. This
collaboration was aimed at digitizing and validating our
emission calculations and streamlining our GHG reporting
across multiple assets. We have migrated all emissions
reporting for Mercuria and its assets to Validere’s platform
and continue to look for ways to improve our reporting
process.
MERCURIA HACKATHONS
We created the concept of the Mercuria Hackathons by
combining our strategies for both technology and
innovation with hiring and internships. The hackathons are
a series of weekend events around the world where
interdisciplinary teams come together to create innovative
software development solutions that solve big energy
transition challenges.
In November 2024, we held our 3rd Mercuria Hackathon in
Bengaluru, India. Collaborating with our technology
partners Curl and Amphora, we ran a non-stop 36 hour
Hackathon. Over 250 students from across India applied to
take part, from which we selected 42 to participate,
representing
18
different
educational
institutions.
Predominantly studying technology related qualifications,
teams were designed to be interdisciplinary, comprising
students from different universities and colleges and with
varying backgrounds and levels of expertise to better
replicate a normal working environment. They were
encouraged to experiment with cutting edge technology
and create real solutions to help them solve the challenge of
a virtual escape room before diving into one of two openended challenges.
The virtual escape room simulated a real-world cyber
security scenario that needed to be cracked in a limited
amount of time. Successfully solving the problem unlocks
details for the second challenges and teams can select from
one of two different options. Of the 11 teams participating,
only one successfully completed the challenge, although
not before the time limit!
