Enhancing energy efficiency with Marine Digital Management solutions

The "Marine Power Management System Market" is set to achieve USD 112.67 Billion by 2031, propelled by a strong CAGR of 7.48% between 2024 and 2031. Reducing energy consumption minimizes greenhouse gas emissions, helping the marine industry align with global environmental regulations. Enhancing energy efficiency is critical for mitigating climate change and reducing the carbon footprint of vessels. On the other hand, Fuel is one of the most significant operational costs in marine management. Energy efficiency directly reduces fuel consumption and can lower greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Proficient energy consumption ensures optimal performance of systems, reduces wear and tear, and enhances the reliability and longevity of marine equipment.

Project challenges/goals

Many marine regulations, including the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), mandate energyefficient practices, making it essential for operators to focus on energy savings. A Nordic solution provider is committed to enhancing sustainability within the global maritime industry, strengthening its competitive advantage in Energy Efficiency Management. The solution digitalizes ferry and vessel information and provides systems with precise know how to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. An integrated system solution with HMI, PLC, and remote access capabilities is needed to reduce their client’s environmental footprint and help the user reach energy targets.

Solution overview

To meet the requirements mentioned above, the user specializes in creating energy-efficient solutions for vessels. They began by remotely monitoring and controlling the HVAC systems on the vessels. The CloudVPN gateway is invaluable for remote access, allowing engineers to operate and troubleshoot remotely, which reduces the need for on-site visits. Using the CloudLogging and Dashboard
features in the CloudVPN portal, the user can intuitively view real-time and historical data on energy consumption and savings. In addition to CloudVPN, their standard solutions include DNV-certified JetNet unmanaged switches, HMIs, remote I/O, and Modular PLC systems, which are offered to their customers as a total package.

Here is what the user says:

1. "With CloudVPN, we can access our systems remotely via VPN for optimization and fault finding."
2. "Using the portal, we get a quick and clear overview of the performance (current and historical) of all our systems simultaneously while offering our customers the same level of access and insight. "
   

This solution has enhanced operational efficiency through advanced monitoring and optimization technologies, resulting in ongoing energy savings for these industry giants.
