The collected data is filtered, compressed, transported and stored in an encrypted and secure cloud service for the Blue Box.
What are the benefits of analyzing data from ships?
- Reduced fuel consumption (due to optimization)
- Reduced emissions of NOx and SOx (due to optimization)
- 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 pilot of the Blue Box? and reported on 10 % fuel savings by analyzing the ship's data. To increase the savings even more, the company has now installed Blue Box? on three ships in total. 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 on how to operate in a more fuel efficient way. 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.
