Norwegian firm Navtor has signed a collaboration agreement with Hoppe Marine that will allow the NavFleet platform access to data collected by Hoppe’s onboard vessel technology
The partnership allows customers to feed critical real-time operational data into the NavFleet application, giving onshore teams complete awareness, understanding and control of their maritime assets.
Navtor chief business development officer for the NavFleet platform, Arild Risholm Sæther said the partnership will allow onshore teams to have ‘eyes on the ship’ with full operational insight and awareness.
“From there, they can use our powerful analytics platform – which offers dual validation to ensure the best quality data – to continually benchmark, manage and improve vessel, and business performance. This kind of agreement is essential for an industry targeting greater sustainability, connecting the data with the means to act on it.”
He explained, “Hoppe is an established industry giant in the field of sensor technology, control systems and the digitalisation of fleets. By tapping into the wealth of data their advanced maritime systems harvest, NavFleet can deliver enhanced operational understanding and performance for users worldwide.
Hoppe’s offerings include valve remote control, tank content measurement, anti-heeling, and anti-rolling, and shaft power meters.
In addition to performance monitoring, management and optimisation benefits, NavFleet is expected to reduce administration at sea and on shore, auto-populating reports, automating tasks, reducing human error and simplifying compliance.
Navtor offers an advanced range of e-navigation and fleet management, monitoring and performance optimisation products and services through a connected digital ecosystem and is the world’s largest supplier of ENC-based services, delivering services to more than 8,000 vessels across the global fleet.
