MAN Energy Solutions inks partnership with Anglo-Eastern

The partnership will see both parties exchange data and knowledge regarding the daily operation of engines, engine performance and maintenance, testing digital products, developing and creating software, algorithms and APIs, among other areas.

The agreement is scheduled to run for a minimum of two years and the partners have agreed to meet every two months, beginning with a workshop on innovation in Copenhagen later this month.

Anglo-Eastern manages 650 vessels under full technical management, and over 250 under crew management. The company’s chief operating officer Carsten Ostenfeldt said, “We are very much looking forward to working with MAN Energy Solutions on this exciting project and gaining insight into the development of future digital solutions. We will allocate the appropriate resources to ensure the success of the project and expect to gain ever-more efficient tools to support the daily operation of our fleet.”

MAN head of marine and power digital Denmark, Stig Holm added, “We are very happy to have entered this project with such an able partner as Anglo-Eastern. For our part, we will get invaluable industry insight from a major, maritime ship-management organisation with substantial knowledge of the daily and strategic operation of a large fleet of diverse vessel types. This agreement gives us access to a large fleet where new products can be tested and we can receive operational feedback from crew and technical shore-staff alike.”
