Eniram and Wärtsilä are launching SkyLight , a next generation fleet performance monitoring service that offers a vastly improved and more accurate solution compared to manual performance reporting with Automatic Identification System (AIS).
With SkyLight, data about the ship’s movements is collected every five minutes and sent via satellite connection to Eniram’s data centre. This data, together with the vessel’s noon reports, is combined and enriched with meteorological data, sea state and currents to model the vessel’s speed and fuel performance. This makes it possible to calculate very accurate fuel-speed curves without onboard integration or costly installations. This forms the basis for all ship and performance optimization.
With SkyLight, ship operators can cost-effectively monitor their fleet and compare the performance of each vessel in great detail. The software keeps records of the ships’ performance, enabling more prompt reporting, planning and cost optimization.
“Access to fuel and speed performance data increases visibility and supports the optimization of the vessel’s performance. This way, ship operators can manage their business more effectively,” says Jan Wilhelmsson, Vice President Commercial Shipping at Eniram.
“Delivering performance monitoring through portable equipment as a service enables operators with shorter business cycles to get the benefits of advanced data analytics. As satellite connectivity is rapidly improving, this type of service is a natural first step in the utilization of real-time data for fuel performance optimization.”
Eniram says the subscription-based service is a cost-effective approach that enables operators, owners, and charterers to monitor and manage energy and performance management, regardless of fleet size.
