The collected data is filtered, compressed, transported, and stored in an encrypted, secure cloud service for the BLUE BOX.
What are the benefits of analysing data from ships?
- Reduced fuel consumption (due to optimisation)
- Reduced emissions of NOx and SOx (due to optimisation)
- Easier/automated reporting
- Decision support for crew
- Predictive maintenance/monitoring of third-party equipment
- Improved understanding of ship processes - with effective operations
- Fleet comparison and management
Remøy Shipping participated in the BLUE BOX pilot and reported 10% fuel savings by analysing the ship's data. To further increase savings, the company has now installed BLUE BOX on three ships. Together with Recogni, Remøy Shipping has developed a 'best practice' database based on real operations.
"We will use data analysis as a competence transfer between ships. We can uncover the causes of operating differently, and the crew receives information on the monitors about actions to operate more fuel-efficiently. Our crews are already skilled and competent in their work, and now they have the opportunity to perform even better when receiving operational support directly on the bridge monitors,» said operational manager André Søvik.
What do you need to get started with data collection for your ship?
- BLUE BOX cabinet customised to your systems

BLUE BOX is produced and configured according to the customer's requirements. The ready-to-install cabinet will be shipped to the customer. The customer installs the cabinet, and we provide commissioning. Signals to be logged by BLUE BOX must be available via a standardised interface in accordance with the BLUE BOX specification.
