ABS Wavesight unveils new My Digital Fleet software features

Staci Satterwhite, ABS Wavesight CEO, says redesigned My Digital Fleet sets a new standard for addressing risk within vessel performance software in the maritime industry

Real-time, data-driven insights supporting regulatory compliance, improving fleet efficiency, reducing operational costs and meeting fleet decarbonization goals are key benefits of its My Digital Fleet (MDF) software unveiled this week by ABS affiliated software as a service (SaaS) company ABS Wavesight . The new features are aimed at empowering maritime operators to optimize performance, improve energy efficiency and streamline compliance with decarbonization requirements from both the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Union.

“With its deeply rooted connection to ABS, an organization grounded in safety, regulation and compliance, My Digital Fleet brings performance and compliance together all in one platform,” said Christopher J. Wiernicki, ABS chairman and CEO and chairman of ABS Affiliated Companies. “Today’s announcement reinforces our commitment to remaining at the forefront of regulatory compliance while providing the industry with the solutions they need to optimize performance and meet decarbonization goals.”

One of the standout features of MDF is its EU ETS compliance support, enabling users to accurately track CO2 emissions by vessel and across entire fleets. This functionality provides invaluable assistance in meeting regulatory requirements and facilitates more precise reporting of EU allowances, driving accuracy for commercial use and seamless compliance with emissions regulations.

“We are excited to unveil the latest My Digital Fleet software, which represents a significant milestone in our commitment to revolutionizing vessel performance monitoring and compliance support,” said Staci Satterwhite, ABS Wavesight CEO. “With its innovative features and modernized architecture, MDF empowers shipowners, operators and charterers to optimize performance, reduce fuel consumption, and gain compliance with regulatory requirements, setting a new standard for addressing risk within vessel performance software in the maritime industry.”

The redesigned My Digital Fleet also offers advanced vessel performance monitoring capabilities, offering insights into the impact of hull and propeller condition on propulsion efficiency. By leveraging these features, operators can gain a comprehensive understanding of fuel usage and wastage, facilitating collaboration between performance and technical teams to optimize vessel conditions. Additionally, with the integration of dynamic vessel performance models, real-time adjustments to operational conditions can be made, enabling increased power/engine efficiency and reduced fuel overconsumption.

In addition to performance monitoring, new vessel data monitoring capabilities establish a foundation for monitoring and evaluating the quality of data generated by vessels across an organization’s fleet. Providing a visual representation of vessel data types and flagging potential issues, this innovative tool offers actionable feedback to enhance data quality at its source.

MDF also introduces a new intuitive interface, featuring an efficient yet robust design to facilitate easy adoption with a focus on providing an instinctive user experience. Moreover, with a new, modernized architecture, MDF offers enhanced connectivity across the ABS Wavesight product portfolio and third-party applications, improved reliability and reduced cost of ownership with true SaaS infrastructure, and top-of-the-line security with SOC2 Type I and Type II and ISO27001 certifications.
