FAQ
Frequently asked questions
MarineShift360 was created to simplify the complex. If you need support or guidance, we’re here to help — get in touch and we’ll point you in the right direction.
What is Lifecycle Assessment?
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) measures the environmental impact of a product or process from raw material extraction through manufacturing, use, and end-of-life. It provides a comprehensive picture of sustainability performance, helping businesses make informed, responsible decisions.
What kind of products can I create Lifecycle Assessments for in MS360?
You can use MarineShift360 to complete a lifecycle assessment of just about anything: whole vessels or fleets, individual components, composite materials and layups, as well as manufacturing and production processes within the marine industry.
What sort of information do I need to create a Lifecycle Assessment?
You’ll need your product’s bill of materials, material weights, and manufacturing energy inputs. MarineShift360 has pre-modelled processes, so you often only input material type and weight. You can also include transport and end-of-life scenarios like recycling or landfill.
What Impact Metrics does MarineShift360 Measure?
MarineShift360 reports on six core impact categories: Global Warming Potential (fossil and non-fossil), Mineral Resource Scarcity, Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Use, Water Use, and Marine Eutrophication. These categories reflect different environmental impacts across a product's lifecycle, giving you a holistic overview of the effect your products have on the planet.
If I upgrade or downgrade my licence will I lose my projects?
`No.` All your projects and data are securely saved, regardless of any licence upgrades or downgrades.
