UPDATE: Partnerships open new maritime IoT solutions for shipping

Combining IoT and data analytics will help shipping companies improve efficiencies and cut unnecessary downtime for maintenance or repairs in port.

“Managing maritime assets when they are continuously moving, such as large cargo ships or tankers, has always been a challenge and having them dock in harbour for extensive periods is very expensive,” said Danelec chief executive Casper Jensen.

“This partnership enables shipowners to leverage the benefits of automating data collection and delivering that data to shore for more efficient use, while also enabling optimised performance to keep ships moving and reduce lifecycle operating costs.”  

By using VDRs on ship bridges, no further onboard IoT infrastructure is required, and no manual collection of data from the systems is needed.

“By combining Danelec’s data collection capabilities with Accelleron’s analytics software, we are providing seafarers with a higher level of data-enabled services,” said Accelleron head of sales, marketing and partnerships for digital solutions Mauro De Micheli.

“This is an important step forward as the maritime sector focuses on achieving greater efficiencies and operational optimisation.”

Owners and operators will retain full control over their vessels’ data and will be able to share operational signals via a secured gateway.

Hoppe Marine head of sales Hauke Hendricks said services would support the maritime sector in its efforts to become carbon neutral. 
“By working together to enable owners and operators to achieve fuel savings, emission reductions, and optimised engine performance, we are delivering concrete evidence of this commitment,” he said.
