Vessel Performance launched for fuel efficiency insights

Sperry Marine Vessel Performance is the latest in a series of digital initiatives designed to connect bridge navigation systems with remote maintenance and voyage support services. ABB’s Vessel Performance modules are deployed and managed through the SperrySphere intelligent navigation platform, a back-of-bridge digital device that delivers applications.

“Our new solution can enable vessels to navigate more safely, reduce fuel costs and carbon emissions,” said Sperry Marine managing director James Collett.

“We not only aim to improve the vessel’s performance; the SperrySphere digital platform will be the one platform to deliver smarter and safer digitally enabled navigation services.”

Sperry Marine aims to achieve safer, greener and more efficient navigation with remote support and navigation equipment diagnostics, maximising vessel availability and optimising voyage performance.

The digital platform connects the vessel with its managers using onboard sensors recording data in real time to transform data insights from the vessel, leading to measured decisions to generate business value, providing evidence in case of cargo insurance claims and demonstrating regulatory compliance.

“We believe integrating data from navigation equipment with vessel performance metrics is key to creating the decarbonisation solutions that shipping needs to lower fuel consumption and reduce emissions,” said ABB Marine & Ports head of sales, services and business development Tomas Arhippainen.

CII will come into force in 2023, driving shipowners and operators to monitor vessel performance, improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
