Zurich-based ABB and Stockholm-based Wallenius Marine have set up a new joint venture in Stockholm to deepen their collaboration in the OVERSEATM project.
The setup gathers and analyses data from a series if vessels trading worldwide. Experts in the Oversea Fleet Support Center in Stockholm then assess the information and propose operational changes that could reduce fuel burn and emissions.
The system combines ABB’s expertise in ship technologies with Wallenius’ extensive fleet management knowledge. It has also been extended to include the ABB GenixTM Industrial IoT Suite which combines industrial analytics with artificial intelligence.
ABB’s Tomas Arhippainen, business line manager, Marine Service & Digital, commented: “The establishment of the OVERSEA joint venture marks a significant milestone for us, solidifying the successful collaboration between ABB and Wallenius Marine over the past few years. With OVERSEA, customers can transform data into actionable insights, enabling them to not only improve their performance but also sustain it over time. Consequently, both vessels and customer offices can adopt sustainable improvements, enhancing energy efficiency, safety, and reliability.”
The two companies originally launched the OVERSEA project in September 2022.
