Accelleron, a global leader in turbocharging, and Maersk Tankers, a commercial manager in the tanker industry, have signed an agreement, as part of which Maersk Tankers will use Accelleron's software on its pool fleet.
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. Tekomar XPERT marine 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 significantly simplifies engine performance reporting between the onshore team and onboard crews, and hence supports efforts aimed at the reduction of fuel consumption, which in turn promotes greater sustainability in operations and a higher level of decarbonization to 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.
