Danish tanker operator Tärntank is set to trial OVERSEA services, a collaboration between ABB and Wallenius Marine, across the fleet of six vessels, with the aim of exploring opportunities for improving operational performance. The trial will cover the performance of the engine, hull and propeller and auxiliary systems as well as forecasting and monitoring of the Carbon Intensity Indicator(CII). The trial will also include shore-based support expertise, which will be provided as needed.
OVERSEA is a digital decision-support service collaboration between ABB and Wallenius Marine to help ship owners, managers and operators improve vessel operational performance, including reducing fuel consumption, costs and emissions, and improving reliability and safety. OVERSEA collaboration leverages ABB’s extensive expertise in ship technologies and the ABB Ability™ Genix Industrial Analytics and AI IoT platform, combined with decades of ship management and vessel performance management experience from Wallenius Marine.
Tärntank will trial a decision-support service for operational performance that not only consists of a tool, but a full scope of services. OVERSEA service offering will include support from center experts that covers the full improvement cycle and is particularly well suited for small or medium sized organizations, like Tärntank, to improve their vessel operational performance in a structured way.
Tankers provide strong prospects for OVERSEA services, given that they number 10,000 worldwide and represent one third of the global fleet. Owners and operators can subscribe to support as a service, utilizing OVERSEA digital solution and collaborating with the center experts.
