HELSINKI, May 31 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Wartsila Voyage, part of the technology group Wartsila, and ship manager
Anglo-Eastern are proud to announce a significant milestone in their joint
project to improve safety and environmental sustainability at sea. As of April
2022, more than 500 vessels in Anglo-Eastern's fleet have been fitted with
Wartsila Voyage's Fleet Optimisation Solutions (FOS), a cutting-edge decision
support software platform for voyage planning, charter-party compliance, fuel
efficiency, and fleet performance management.
"Wartsila Voyage has invested heavily in new digitally enabled strategies, and
by partnering with them, we gain capabilities that assist us and our shipowner
clients to be the leaders in digitalisation, safety, and sustainability.
Wartsila Voyage is leading in the digital journey of the maritime industry,
which makes them the ideal partner for us and our own digital journey," said
Bjorn Hojgaard, CEO, Anglo-Eastern.
"By working in close cooperation, Anglo-Eastern and Wartsila have been able to
create a valuable and much needed software solution that greatly benefits
merchant fleet operations. With our input incorporated in product development,
the result is a fantastic, holistic solution that helps us with every aspect of
fleet management," commented Capt. Pradeep Chawla, Managing Director of Group
QHSE and Training, Anglo-Eastern.
Wartsila Voyage's FOS is a shared digital platform that helps to monitor,
manage and optimise everyday processes on board and onshore. By combining
cloud-based analytics and artificial intelligence, FOS reduces workload and
provides all stakeholders with a clear overview of their fleet's performance.
"One of the key advantages of our FOS platform is that it's flexible and
scalable, remaining responsive to the maturity of each shipping company's own
digital journey. We believe in digitalisation as the path towards
decarbonisation, and that means delivering a solution that can future-proof a
fleet and optimise not just the 'right now', but also the long-term," said Sean
Fernback, President, Wärtsilä Voyage, and Executive Vice President, Wartsila.
"Passing the 500 installations milestone with Anglo-Eastern is an important
step in the mission of both companies to drive sustainability through
cutting-edge technology."
Anglo-Eastern is a leading global provider of independent ship management
services, with 650 vessels under full technical management, over 250 under crew
management, and a technical services division that has overseen more than 450
new buildings and conversions. Anglo-Eastern and Wärtsilä have a long-term
partnership spanning almost three decades.
