Data Driven decision impacts fleet operations.

Maritime transport is the backbone of the global economy. The sector carries over 90% of global merchandise trade, totalling some 11 billion tons of cargo per year. With ships carrying over 90% of all merchandise trade, maritime transport is an essential but vulnerable component of the global economy

Few shipping companies often sees digitalization as a burden, while moving from manual to digital operations. While many other companies are harnessing the power of digital technology to ease the operations, increase efficiency, track and monitor the fleet remotely. Digitalization of the fleets across the globe has seen upward spike and continues to increase after the COVID-19 pandemic, as we see number of vessels getting connected to shore office with multiple digitalization objectives.  This has led to increase in demand for connected platform of applications in the industry which can get desired from vessels in real-time.

With the increasing pressure to reduce costs, improve efficiency, increase safety and reduce greenhouse gas emissions can all be driven with an approach of digitalization and digitalizing the fleet in years to come.

Digitalizing the fleet has its own advantage when the real time data can be monitored and tracked and even the historical data can be traced down. This real time insights from ships have ability to predict, forecast and even plan optimization path based. Smart Ship© Hub data driven ship management module gets to the core of utilising the data and take undue advantage of taking the right decision. Post pandemic Smart Ship © Hub has set multiple companies in SE Asia, HK, UAE with success stories of having a system that can help companies to take decision of their vessels with data.

Fleet managers using real time data to take decisions in improving efficiency.

Increase efficiency & Optimize operations: Fleet managers and owners can use live data from the fleet. The live data coming directly from the ship can be used in constructive manner to increase efficiency and optimize operation. The real time data and historical data together can give multiple trend analysis for the user to study, evaluate the performance of the vessel and set KPI’s for optimum efficiency of the fleet. Key data from Engine room, Bridge and cargo adds more value to the the decision making process such as maintenance, spares replacement, PMS making it easy to user to optimize the process and increase efficiency.

Energy saving and Emission Control: this is one of the most talked topic in the maritime industry and every stake holder in the industry is facing heat. Users can keep track of energy consumption and energy efficiency with live data being tapped from the ships. This live data can assist users in monitoring and taking corrective action to reduce the energy consumption and control emissions. With a fleet that is capable of reporting live data to the shore, the shore team can have accurate analysis of the parameters of energy utilisation, and causes of emissions. Such an insight can make the users aware of the real time situation on the fleet and can also compare it with the sister vessels to study the trends and patterns. With the level of accurate data received from the fleet, one can take precautionary steps way ahead.

Strategic planning: Predictive insights on spare procurement, machinery maintenance, help fleet managers to efficiently organise and plan vessel operations. Such strategic planning also results in considerable cost savings to the ship owners, charters and ship management companies. Insights for Smart Ship can be used to build, run, manager and optimize a fleet that is owned or leased.

Crew management: Seafaring is one of the toughest jobs and are always on sail to fulfil the globe supply chain demand. It is crucial to keep a check on the crew health and monitor the key health parameters. With multiple modules and application for crew management, it becomes handy to keep the required information handy at all times. The KPI’s like performance and the and information related to the documents and certificates all be maintained on a single platform.  With the help of remote IOT backed medical devices, the user can on demand medical tests carried out at ease. Such test can give awareness of the crew’s heath and can predict any upcoming medical conditions. This adds value to organisations and puts a message across about the organisation taking serious measures to protect crew in the era where outbreaks of viruses are becoming everyday affair and lockdowns.
