Maersk Tankers announced that it has launched a new digital solution to help owners meet the required standards.
Using the new solution, which has been developed together with shipowners in the company’s pools, owners can monitor their vessel’s rating, how it changes year by year, the reasons for any changes and its projected rating over the following three years.
Harnessing the data, shipowners and managers can take measures to improve vessels’ operation such as adjusting its route or speed.
While the solution has gone into use, it is not set in stone. Simon Maribo Artzi, Product Owner in Maersk Tankers’ Digital team, explains that it “can be developed, adding new components as pool partners, cargo customers or regulators’ demands evolve”.
Following rigorous testing, the digital solution has gone live at the end of June and is now available for shipowners in Maersk Tankers’ pools.
Shipowners need real-time data on emissions, and insight into how these develop, which we, in turn, are using to improve the operations of the vessels entrust us to manage their vessels and the way we operate them from port to port has a direct environmental impact
said Maria Damkær, Commercial Manager in the Go-To-Market function at Maersk Tankers.
Much can be done on board for tracking emissions. So many types of sensors just few wanted the investment before (buy, install, link together, maintain, replacements, when sensor goes back, how things are built? (built for shore or sea? vibration, temperature around the globe, more). As it is, some have issues with where equipment is located due to limited protected spaces. Temperatures & humidity of where panels are located? Can give systems a tough time and Crews – tough times too trying to maintain. Wish you well with it! Yes, much can be done!
