DNV GL's Bunker-Saving ShipManager to Be Utilised on 80 Sinochem Vessels
DNV GL today announced that Chinese chemical tanker owner and operator Sinochem Industry Co., Ltd. (Sinochem) is implementing DNV GL's bunker-saving data smart fleet management system ShipManager on its entire 80-vessel fleet.
"We are proud to be partnering with Sinochem, an innovative and growing shipping company in Asia," said Are Føllesdal Tjønn, CEO of DNV GL - Software.
"This is yet another sign of DNV GL and ShipManager's strong growth, both in China but also in the tanker segment."
The contract was signed by Tjønn and Zhang Xin, Sinochem's Vice General Manager, in April at the opening of DNV GL's newbuilt near-zero-emission Green Office Centre in Shanghai.
"As an international player in shipping, we require a global fleet management system to manage vessels in a differentiated, best-in-class manner, ensuring that all functional areas are integrated," said Zhang.
"Our business relies highly on a flexible, intelligent and standardized fleet management system. Therefore, we have decided to launch the project to work closely with DNV GL. Together we will implement ShipManager to meet all our current and future requirements."
Last month, Ship & Bunker reported that DNV GL had published a report, "Low Carbon Shipping towards 2050," which assesses the potential for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction from shipping into 2050.
