DNV GL announced that China’s Sinochem International Logistics, a leading chemical tanker owner and operator with 80 vessels, is implementing the company’s data smart fleet management system “ShipManager” on the entire fleet, with the aim to optimize operations and improve performance and efficiency.
The contract was signed in April at the opening of DNV GL’s newbuilt near-zero-emission Green Office Centre in Shanghai. DNV GL – Software CEO, Are Føllesdal Tjønn, and Sinochem International Logistics Vice General Manager, Zhang Xin, signed the contract at the ceremony.
Sinochem shipping operates its vessels from subsidiary Aoxing Shipmanagement offices in Shanghai, Singapore and Japan. The shipping company had previously been relying on internally developed systems.
In addition, Sinochem will use DNV GL’s Navigator Insight, an MRV-ready reporting solution covering operational needs. Navigator Insight feeds data to different stakeholders in addition to the ECO Insight fleet performance portal.
ShipManager Analyzer is a business intelligence solution for fleetwide KPI analysis, that automatically extracts data from the underlying modules, enables automated reporting and gives operational insight for qualified decisions, improvement measures and cost savings. ShipManager is being developed to include Chinese language capabilities, in order to further strengthen the product for the Asian market.
