Maritime data integration and analytics specialist Spinergie has announced that Asian Bulk Logistics (ABL), a provider of integrated logistics services and infrastructure solutions for bulk commodities, has chosen Smart Fleet Management to optimize its global transshipment operations. This centralized digital solution will streamline onboard reporting procedures for bulk cargo transfers, enhance activity tracking across ABL’s fleet, and enable effective monitoring of remote offshore project areas.
ABL now benefits from automated outgoing reports generated from digital Daily Reports (DRs) completed by captains in the Spinergie solution. This includes the Statement of Facts report and allows teams to compute all relevant timings and rates for a loading cycle. A designated cycles module computes operational KPIs selected by the client to assess the efficiency of loading rates and compare those cycles, for example. The new solution has eliminated the need for the team to spend time creating Excel dashboards and PowerPoints, as this analysis is fully integrated into the centralized reporting source; this source point also reduces the need for frequent complex checking procedures.
Spinergie’s support is enjoyed by ABL beyond the solution – most notably in the expertise provided in sourcing and installing AIS (Automatic Identification System) antennas for ABL to better track activities and remotely monitor the fleet. The real-time positioning data obtained through AIS is seamlessly integrated with the solution by automatically populating reports. These reports are further enriched by contextual data such as weather conditions and operational modes. This comprehensive approach delivers a holistic view of fleet activity, empowering ABL to make informed decisions for optimal performance.
Smart Fleet Management is also set to play a pivotal role in ABL’s commitment to environmental sustainability. The solution generates customized reports on key metrics such as carbon emissions, garbage, fuel, and water consumption. These metrics will allow the company to track its environmental footprint and implement data-driven strategies for continuous improvement. These tailored reports also significantly simplify the process of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting.
This project is emblematic of Spinergie’s strategic growth plans in the Asia Pacific market. The company will soon announce a physical presence in the region, placing skilled maritime technologists for enhanced support of its growing customer base.
