Eniram Launches New Fleet Performance Monitoring Service
Eniram Oy (Eniram) Wednesday announced the launch of its new fleet performance monitoring service, SkyLight, which the company says supports vessel performance optimisation by offering operators a "vastly improved" and more accurate solution compared to manual performance reporting with Automatic Identification System (AIS).
As Ship & Bunker reported earlier this week, this is the first product to be launched by Eniram since its acquisition by Wärtsilä in July.
SkyLight collects data on ship movements every five minutes, sending it to Eniram's data center via satellite.
The data and the vessel's noon reports are then combined and enriched with meteorological data, sea state, and currents to produce a model of the vessel's speed and fuel performance, and enable fuel-speed curves to be caluclated without onboard integration or installations.
"Access to fuel and speed performance data increases visibility and supports the optimisation of the vessel's performance. This way, ship operators can manage their business more effectively," said 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.
"With opportunities created by connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT), we can provide intelligent sensors, integrated satellite communication and web-based analytics tools for optimising ship performance at cost levels never seen before," added Wilhelmsson.
In June, Ship & Bunker reported that it had been selected by Greece-based Springfield Shipping Co. (Springfield Shipping) to provide bunker-saving energy efficiency technology to the shipping company's fleet of very large crude carriers (VLCCs).
