NEPTUNES Noise Testing for Moored Ships:
Qsafe Pte Ltd, we are at the forefront of environmental monitoring services, offering specialized services in noise monitoring and analysis. One of our key offerings is the NEPTUNES Noise Test, a standardized method for measuring noise emissions from moored ships. This test is essential for understanding and mitigating the impact of port-related noise on surrounding communities, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and promoting a quieter, more sustainable maritime industry.
Understanding the NEPTUNES Noise Test
The NEPTUNES (Noise Exploration Program To Understand Noise Emitted by Seagoing ships) measurement protocol is a standardized approach that accurately assesses the noise generated by ships while they are docked. This protocol is crucial in identifying and addressing the sources of noise pollution, particularly in densely populated coastal areas.
Our Testing Process
Comprehensive Noise Source Identification
The main sources of noise from moored ships include the funnel, ventilation grids, auxiliary engines, and other onboard equipment like refrigerated containers. We meticulously measure the noise levels from these sources to create a detailed noise profile of the vessel.
Onboard and Land-Based Measurements
Onboard Measurements: We measure the noise emissions from key onboard sources, such as the funnel and ventilation grids and etc.,
Land-Based Measurements: To understand the overall impact of the ship’s noise on the surrounding environment, we conduct measurements from strategic positions on the quay. These measurements help assess the noise levels experienced by nearby residents, considering factors like tonal and low-frequency noise.
Standardized Measurement Protocol
Our measurements adhere to the NEPTUNES protocol, ensuring consistency and reliability across different ports and vessels. This includes monitoring meteorological conditions, using Class 1 measuring equipment, and maintaining constant operational circumstances onboard.
Detailed Data Analysis and Reporting
We analyze the collected data to determine the ship’s noise footprint, considering various factors like sound pressure levels and frequency components. Our reports provide actionable insights, helping port authorities and ship operators implement effective noise reduction strategies.
