SINGAPORE, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Smart Ship Hub (SSH) is a ready to deploy digital platform for global maritime
logistics. SSH is disrupting the maritime industry the way avionics did in
airline industry. Cloud based and on demand, SSH provides "unified platform and
a single source of truth" for Ship owners, Ship Operators, Charter Parties,
maritime insurers, Port authorities. The platform caters for merchant ships,
naval ships, oil rigs, river going barges and fishing vessels.
Global maritime, despite being the largest mode of transport suffers from
operational inefficiencies, lack of visibility, transparency leading to
commercial leakages. Ship owners, operators, chartering agencies, insurance
companies are now focussed on technology backed smarter processes to ensure
"High vessel uptime, Sea worthiness and Predictability" with digital systems.
SSH's "ship-to-shore and shore-to-ship" based management of fleet using smart
sensors, IOT, big data is saving substantial operational costs while enhancing
voyage efficiencies. The digital platform is helping predict possible machinery
down time, malfunctioning, identify performance deviations, vessel routes to
improve voyage and vessel performance. SSH's " Marine Insights " is a unique
maritime big data platform providing actionable intelligence, smart alerts and
performance advisory for entire fleet using millions of records.
SSH's global customers are able to achieve their target of " minimal breakdown
maintenance", "optimum fuel utilization", "staying in total compliance
including for emissions", " optimize costs with condition based maintenance"
and a much higher level of " voyage control". "Performance Advisory" feature is
reducing number of incidents for these ships while saving maintenance and fuel
costs. Future ready maritime companies are helping in creation of a connected
ecosystem: connected ships, shared services (routes, capacity, procurement) and
"pay per use" model with SSH digital.
Joy Basu, Founder of Smart Ship Hub adds: "Digital platforms will play a
fundamental role in disrupting maritime legacy processes. Inefficient & legacy
workflows in ships and shore is gradually giving way to automated remote
management. This fund raise will allow us to pass on more value to our
customers globally. Customers will now have captive performance centre for a
fraction of the cost they incur today. Ship owners, Operators, Charter parties
can get digital upgrade for "Zero" capex, allowing them to unblock their
capital and upgrade more vessels".
