Norwegian pilot project demonstrates significant fuel efficiency gains

Success of the project has led to a fleet-wide contract for implementation of the fuel efficiency software across SolstadFarstad’s entire fleet, comprising a total of 147 units including supply, anchor handling, construction and renewable vessels.
The size of the fleet, a result of last year’s merger between Solstad Offshore, Farstad Shipping, Deep Sea Supply and Rem Offshore, enabled SolstadFarstad and Yxney to use large volumes of data to identify the most efficient vessels in the fleet, and transfer their practice to other ships.
Svein Erik Isaksen, environmental engineer in SolstadFarstad revealed that MarESS clients can now log in, track each vessel and monitor fuel consumption. “They can also communicate with us and the vessel through the system,” he said. “This helps to keep the dialogue focused on tangible factors and measures for improvement, with everyone striving to meet the same goals.”
