Vessel performance software developer Tres Solutions is partnering with ship-to-shore data specialist Danelec Marine. The collaboration aims to hasten adoption of high resolution data in shipping analytics.

The Tres Vessel Analytics (TVA) platform is deployed on nearly 300 vessels worldwide. The company says its software and service platform have helped customers realise 2-14% fuel savings annually.

Danish company Danelec supplies Voyage Data Recorders, ship-to- shore data communication systems and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems. More than 6,000 vessels today are equipped with a VDR or S-VDR designed and manufactured by Danelec Marine. The company has service facilities in more than 50 countries and certified service centres worldwide.

The collaboration will integrate the TVA platform with the DanelecConnect ship-to-shore data gathering and transmission platform. Danelec collects and pre-processes data from onboard sensors before transferring it to a secure cloud-based database. Tres will use the real-time data in its TVA decision-support software and services to help ship owners improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and improve operations.

“This collaboration brings together two leaders in maritime digitalisation,” said Aaron Holton, CEO of Tres Solutions. “The industry has continued to evolve, with customers seeking connected platforms. With Danelec, we are collectively able to remove many of the barriers to widespread adoption of IoT by our customers and pave the way for further efficiency driven solutions for our clients.”

“We are pleased to welcome Tres Solutions into our ever-expanding integration ecosystem,” said Casper Jensen, COO of Danelec Marine, “The industry is quickly changing, and many more ships will be IoT enabled in the coming years. We believe our collaboration with Tres will help lead the transformation of the industry in a smart and efficient way.”
