DNV GL Announces New Analytical and Reporting Features for Bunker-Saving ECO Insight

DNV GL says the newest ECO Insight release includes a variety of new analytical and reporting features.

DNV GL Thursday announced that the newest release of its bunker-saving fleet performance management solution, ECO Insight, includes a variety of new analytical and reporting features that enable shipowners to manage more vessel data, and provides more frequent and higher quality results.

"Our user community has rapidly grown into the largest single performance management group in the shipping industry, and the data and feedback we are getting from them has been a great inspiration," said Torsten Büssow, DNV GL’s Head of Performance Management.

"We have directed their input into product development and innovation which has resulted in many new and enhanced features."

The new version of ECO Insight is said to take advantage a number of projects related to DNV GL’s in-house, customer, and third party data collection systems.

"The last year has proven that ECO Insight can integrate sensor and auto-logging data. And we use this to provide more transparent and actionable data reporting and analytics," said Büssow.

DNV GL says its voyage reporting system Navigator Insight now provides Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) emission reports, and comes with a unique electronic owner-charterer cooperation contract option, enabling data released to each party to be customised to reflect contractual responsibilities.

The new release is noted to provide hourly updates of vessel positions and speed variations, with management of charter party contracts and speed variability both having been improved, as well as a number of other new display options and daily alert service available to users.

DNV GL says the system's hull degradation computation and display, as well as auxiliary engine usage analytics, have been enahnced, while a fuel quality module shows the impact of fuel quality on performance.

In May, DNV GL announced that Hamburg-based shipping company Leonhardt & Blumberg had begun using ECO Insight fleet performance management solution on its entire 40 vessel fleet.
