The multi-year settlement follows a six-month pilot on 25 Offshore Provide Vessels (OSVs), which demonstrated common month-to-month emissions financial savings of 45 to 50 tonnes of CO2 per vessel.
These outcomes have been achieved by way of real-time fleet monitoring and enhanced digitalization of the vessels’ reporting. This enabled Opsealog to determine effectivity enhancements and suggest greatest practices to ship administration groups.
The brand new settlement covers Bourbon Marine & Logistics’ complete Platform Provide Vessels (PSVs) and Anchor Dealing with Tug Provide vessels (AHTS) fleet, which is operated in areas reminiscent of West Africa, Asia and the Gulf of Mexico.
The partnership will permit for centralized fleet monitoring with real-time vessel monitoring and streamlined reporting. The info will then be built-in into Opsealog’s Marinsights platform to ship insights that can assist BOURBON optimize vessels’ operational profiles to cut back gasoline consumption and related GHG emissions, whereas additionally serving to scale back working prices.
This initiative will help BOURBON’s dedication to cut back its environmental footprint by way of fleet optimization, but additionally allow the corporate to proactively put together for upcoming regulatory necessities that can quickly cowl the OSV sector, together with the EU’s emissions buying and selling system (ETS) and Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) rules.
Frédéric Siohan, Requirements & Innovation Director at Bourbon Marine & Logistics, stated, “Our collaboration with Opsealog is marking a brand new milestone within the digitalization of our fleet that was initiated about 10 years in the past with the design of extremely environment friendly vessels fitted with Diesel Electrical propulsion. By enhanced real-time monitoring of operations and gasoline consumption, the partnership will equip our groups with the suitable insights, based in knowledge, to enhance our fleet’s day-to-day efficiency and scale back its carbon emissions.
“In the long term, having this complete overview of our fleet and potential enhancements will allow us to determine new benchmarks for operational excellence and cleared the path in sustainable practices. This additionally presents our prospects sensible options to progress their very own decarbonization journeys,” Siohan added.
Hugo Prigent, Account Supervisor at Opsealog, stated, “This partnership is a testomony to the facility of digitalization in driving operational effectivity and environmental accountability. Our pilot confirmed how knowledge can’t solely paint an correct image of every vessel’s gasoline consumption and carbon emissions, but additionally unlock tangible actions to right away enhance their efficiency. Constructing on this success, we’re proud to broaden our partnership throughout Bourbon Marine & Logistics’ complete fleet and help their sustainability and efficiency ambitions.”
