Maersk Tankers commercially manages vessels for tanker owners. The company develops and employs solutions that maximize their vessels’ economic and environmental performance. As part of this, the company offers its pool partners a fuel optimisation service, aimed at improving vessel efficiency and cutting emissions. TekomarXPERTmarine will give Maersk Tankers detailed technical and operational insights into engine performance and advise on corrective actions, therewith enabling the company to strengthen the fuel optimisation service it offers to its pool partners.
In addition, the service provided by Tekomar XPERT marine significantlysimplifies engine performance reporting between the onshore team and onboard crews, and hence supports efforts aimed at thereduction of fuel consumption, which in turnpromotes greater sustainability in operationsand ahigher level of decarbonizationto Maersk Tankers’ pool partners. Tekomar XPERT marine comes preconfigured for each individual vessel, and no additional onboard IoT infrastructure is required.
During initial trials involving six vessels, the vessels reported fuel savings averaging approximately three percent.
