VPS has announced a strategic partnership with Blue Water to see the integration of Blue Water Optimum Speed Services (BOSS) into VPS’s existing suite of data-driven decarbonization services.
BOSS is a voyage optimization and management service designed to improve operational efficiency and reduce fuel and emissions for vessels. Through this partnership, VPS customers will gain access to vessel reporting, voyage planning, and optimization tools. This collaboration aims to combine the expertise and resources of both companies to offer comprehensive voyage optimization, management services, and fuel testing.
This collaboration underscores our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that empower vessel operators to achieve optimal performance and efficiency across their fleets.
… said Kumaresh Gupta, Managing Director of Blue Water Trade Winds
Meanwhile, Jan Wilhelmsson, COO of Digital & Decarbonization at VPS, shared similar sentiments, saying that this collaboration reflects their dedication to providing their customers with the services and insights they need to navigate the complexities of the maritime industry effectively.
Generally, VPS has been advocating for ensuring fuel quality and smooth operations on the path to decarbonization. For instance, Steve Bee, Group Commercial & Business Development Director for VPS had said to SAFETY4SEA that “A key lesson is that prevention is always better than cure and if potential risks are better understood, then they can be mitigated. It is important to be able to prevent a high percentage of contaminated fuel, being detected prior to use, and therefore, always to be used to protect the vessel.”
