The Role of Data in Shipping
Data in Shipping has been revolutionising the marine industry. Big data has influenced sectors like finance, healthcare, banking, etc., and has now influenced the shipping industry too.
Traditional data is collected from various conventional sources and systems such as warehouses, distributing nodes, ships, dockyards, etc. which includes commuting expenses, fuel costs, wages, insurance, transit time, etc. It usually remains fixed and used to calculate the profits or losses.
Non-Traditional Data and Its Impact
Non-traditional data is subject to time and keeps changing, like weather, traffic delays, unexpected repairs, etc. Information comes from various sources and formats like texts, audios, videos, images, etc.
Data combines information from different sources, draws patterns from that data and creates a cloud-based database – a centralized system where everything is stored, analyzed, and procured later. Cloud systems get a constant influx of huge volumes of data from various sources, both traditional and non-traditional.
By correlating this information, one can determine hidden patterns to make real-time predictions. Data and Big Data is now extensively used in the marine industry.
Digital Tools Driving Marine Industry Growth
Marine industry growth has accelerated with the advent of digital tools and solutions and with the rise of big data. Clever and calculated use of these digital solutions can yield great profit for marine companies worldwide.
Marinelec has partnered with Maritronics, one of the leading marine companies in UAE, to provide technologies that help in energy transition in maritime transport.
What is Ecomer by Marinelec?
Most conventional monitoring systems just monitor without storing projected data. Marinelec has developed Ecomer, a competitive and clever system designed to improve the economic behaviour of ships.
The system helps in collecting and analysing data, leading to reduced fuel consumption and pollutant gas emissions. The information can be used by captains or vessel owners to make decisions that optimise consumption across various parameters.
Key Features of Ecomer
Ecomer can also collect environmental data such as wind force, sea state, currents, and location, along with a routing function.
Digital technology in Ecomer widens the possibilities of understanding and analysing data, which in turn helps to fix specific issues.
Maritronics’ Role in Digital Transformation
Maritronics has been serving the marine industry in UAE and across the world for decades. By partnering with innovative brands like Marinelec, it uses technology based on know-how and its knowledge of ships and their environments.
Operating, regulatory, or safety constraints are taken into account for an analysis adapted to each need in Ecomer.
Benefits of Ecomer for the Maritime Industry
Ecomer not only collects data but also organises it to enhance the overall performance of ships. For the maritime industry, data has become a tool for:
Identifying areas for improvement
Preparing vessel modifications
Planning hauling schedules
Advanced Instrumentation Technology
Instrumentation technology has enabled adaptive sensors, which process data collected during operations. These insights help shipyards, marine architects, and design offices validate ship characteristics or corrective measures.
Genuine part manufacturers can also use data to apply changes or redesign existing equipment.
Conclusion
Maritronics, a leading marine services company in UAE, is an authorised dealer of Marinelec machines. By offering Ecomer, it is helping the shipping industry embrace digitalisation, reduce fuel consumption, and move towards a greener future.
