Vessel managers use Spinergie’s digital Daily Report (DR) to enhance reporting and data quality and uncover improvement points within selected key performance indicators (KPIs). This creates a continuous cycle of improvement with reporting consistently monitored and operations adapted to follow improvement markers.
Context
A transshipping and bulk cargo vessel manager uses Spinergie’s Smart Report solution to standardise reporting across its entire fleet. They needed a solution that would:
- Accurately translate operations into data using a customised reporting structure.
- Allow them to select their own criteria and KPIs for analysis.
- Use data feeds and sensor information (fuel, engine hours etc.) to automatically populate reports.
Furthermore, the vessel manager needed Smart Fleet Management to seamlessly integrate with their existing systems. This brought the client’s older and less intuitive system up to date. The learning curve from the new solution enabled the vessel owner to adapt their processes and operations in line with the data points that were uncovered.
Spinergie’s smart reporting solution
Spinergie’s digital Daily Report (DR) standardises and centralises reports to reduce the amount of crew time spent on their compilation. Further time is saved through using a combination of manual input and sensor information - the client was able to select the data entry that worked for them.
Automatic population is possible by using vessel location, activity detection, sensors and weather data. Meanwhile, manual input is guided by error warnings and prompts to encourage revision and ensure data accuracy. Further data quality analysis ensures that any issues that arise can be dealt with quickly. Selected DQ alerts able to highlight any issues in reporting activity, such as overlaps or time missing. Alerts can also be established to notify of any problems arising from consumption data input, such as mismatches between initial and final ROB, abnormal consumption in relation to vessel activity and running hours not matching AIS data.
Automated reporting saves countless hours of data crunching and ensures that all fleet reporting is uniform, allowing like-for-like analysis. This can help uncover optimisation opportunities and assist in larger reporting exercises such as annual, cost and tax allocation, ESG and operations reports.
Result
It was important for the client to improve data quality and reporting accuracy. Smart Reports enabled this with a user-friendly solution. The vessel manager was able to improve reporting consistency across the fleet with an immediate impact on time-saving and data quality.
Smart Fleet Management enabled the client to to view their historical and current data in a user-friendly, digestible format. They were able to use it to uncover the steps needed to reduce their consumption and streamline their operations to avoid demurrage costs.
