ABB Oceanly Partner for Integrated Vessel Optimization | Mariner News

Trust Score: 95

Engineering firm ABB and maritime technology firm Oceanly have announced a collaboration aimed at creating a more integrated approach to vessel performance, voyage optimization, and energy efficiency. The partnership seeks to consolidate disparate systems, allowing shipowners and operators to enhance operational decision-making and reduce reliance on fragmented data solutions.

The initial focus of the collaboration will see ABB’s voyage and route optimization capabilities integrated into Oceanly Performance. This move will enable operators to combine high-frequency operational data and analytics from Oceanly’s platform with ABB’s optimization tools, facilitating a continuous cycle of performance measurement, voyage optimization, and results monitoring.

This integrated approach is designed to yield significant reductions in fuel consumption, emissions, and overall operating costs. By unifying capabilities, operators gain a more holistic view, moving beyond isolated data points to make truly dynamic and adaptive operational adjustments based on real-time vessel performance and route conditions.

Further extending the collaboration, ABB’s asset monitoring, lifecycle management, and remote technical support will converge with Oceanly’s data collection and alert systems. This synergy is expected to enhance the earlier identification of equipment issues and bolster predictive maintenance strategies, ultimately reducing the risk of unexpected downtime and improving asset reliability throughout its lifecycle.
