COMPLEMENTARY maritime high-tech firms Navtor and ScanReach have signed a deal that paves the way for shipowners to have a connected, comprehensive and real-time view of vessel and fleet operations.
The collaboration will connect onboard wireless IoT platform to a secure channel for sharing data between ship and shore, said the joint statement.
'The result is a seamless stream of information running from onboard sensors (which can be fixed to almost any piece of equipment, system, or individual) to land-based facilities, and back, enabling optimal decision-making, 24/7,' it said.
Navtor, an e-navigation specialist, provides ways to make life simpler, safer and more efficient. ScanReach has created an onboard network capable of transmitting data throughout complex and confined steel environments, with no need for expensive cabling.
Said Navator chief commercial officer Borge Hetland: 'We have built an infrastructure that allows the seamless sharing of data between vessels and shore.'
Said ScanReach development chief Jacob Grieg Eide: 'Everything becomes connected - ship visibility is brought to shore. The implications of that for the industry are truly staggering.'
