Automated vessel monitoring at Europort
Netherlands base RRIsis addressed the growing concern of many vessel operators with fuel efficiency by showing a new intelligent monitoring system at Europort.
Even tug operators were showing interest in a system which delivers 2% to 5% fuel savings by logging all operational parameters and relaying them to that ship’s office wherever it may be.
Monitoring is an integral part of the IMO Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) guidelines. Monitoring can increase the already high workload of a ship’s crew. Email or paper reports can get lost and are not easily available to all participants.
The ‘cloud’ based RRIsis.com delivers automated monitoring without increasing the crew’s workload and facilitates collaboration between ship and shore. The RRIsis datalogger can be installed in one day, to be instantly delivering data to the owner/manager in real time 24/7.
RRIsis told MJ that most clients have seen their investment returned via fuel savings within two to six months of installing the system.
