Wärtsilä Launches Bunker-Saving Eniram SkyLight 2.0
Wärtsilä Corporation (Wärtsilä) today announced that it has launched a "major" update to its performance monitoring system for commercial shipping operators - the Eniram SkyLight 2.0, which the company says provides the tools needed to reduce fuel consumption and operate with lower emission levels.
Wärtsilä says the addition of nautical maps, weather layers, and route importation to the system makes predictive analysis and proactive planning more available, and enables the visualisation of a vessel's route from economic, environmental, and safety perspectives.
"SkyLight 2.0 is an important expansion of our system, and the added features make predictive analysis available at a far lower cost than has been previously possible," said Jan Wilhelmsson, Vice President, Commercial Shipping at Eniram.
"It represents an operative tool that eases business decisions regarding cost efficiency, safety, and environmental considerations. It comes as the result of our cooperation with owners and operators and listening to their needs."
Wärtsilä says the update will also help operators to comply with the European Union (EU) Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) regulation.
The company notes that the SkyLight 2.0 system, which comes at a monthly subscription fee, can be used without any costly integration onboard.
In September, Ship & Bunker talked to Eniram Oy (Eniram) Managing Director Henrik Dahl about could be expected following Wärtsilä's acquisition of Eniram - both in the near term and in the longer term.
