Marinvest signs contract with Kongsberg Digital to roll out Vessel Insight
Marinvest, a Swedish ship management company, has signed a contract with Kongsberg Digital to roll out Vessel Insight to optimise performance and reduce emissions on five of its 10 oil and chemical tankers. The installations have already started.
Vessel Insight will work in tandem with the fuel and speed pilot applications to facilitate vessel performance optimisation by measuring emissions that are not currently monitored. Marinvest have been using Kongsberg Maritime’s control system for five years, leveraging its fuel and speed pilot functions to aid fuel and speed optimisation.
This combined approach is expected to deliver significant savings, and also give Marinvest a common structure for all critical data signals and making them ‘digital-ready’ for integration with future software applications.
Vessel Insight provides vessel-to-cloud data infrastructure, capturing and aggregating quality data in a cost effective and secure way for vessels and fleets. By providing instant and easy access to critical data from all data points on a vessel through one common infrastructure, the service reduces the complexity of data gathering from ships.
Andreas Jagtøyen, EVP of Digital Ocean, said: “As the importance of cutting emissions and fuel consumption increases, we are happy to see that so many ship owners realise that digital transformation is a pathway to achieve this goal and to meet international standards put forward by the IMO.
“Our team will cooperate with Marinvest to implement the latest software technology available, ensuring that they remain in the competitive vanguard towards 2023, 2030 and beyond.”
Vessel Insight is anticipated to be installed on all five vessels by September 2021.
