Icelandic provider of energy management solutions Marorka and Norway's Kongsberg Maritime have joined forces in an effort to help shipping companies optimise fuel consumption.
Integrating Marorka's energy management solutions with Kongsberg's market leading marine automation systems puts focus on energy efficiency in a dedicated energy performance system, and makes it easier for ship operators to act on advices aimed at reducing fuel consumption.
Real-time simulation and key energy performance indicators from Marorka's system are displayed within Kongsberg's interface, enabling vessel captains and engineers to focus on optimising energy performance.
"There is a growing demand in the shipping industry for user-friendly, comprehensive control systems that allow vessel operators to optimise energy performance metrics onboard. With this agreement, we address the industry's growing concerns about fuel costs and environmental issues," said Marorka CEO Jon Agust Thorsteinsson.
The combined performance system will be offered as a modular solution where the Kongsberg K-Chief systems and Marorka's Maren and fuel manager energy management solutions are integrated to fit each vessel's specifications in order to meet shipping companies' objectives on energy savings.
