In today’s competitive maritime industry, reducing fuel consumption is not only economically necessary, but also a critical step towards achieving environmental sustainability. AST Reygar’s BareFLEET system offers an innovative solution to help vessel operators monitor and reduce fuel consumption effectively. Here’s how BareFLEET makes it possible:
Before you can reduce your fuel consumption, it is essential to know how much fuel your vessels are already using, and where this usage occurs. BareFLEET provides this crucial insight by accurately monitoring fuel consumption using data from engine ECUs, or fuel flow meters, on both main engines and gensets. This precise measurement forms the foundation for any fuel saving strategy.
BareFLEET doesn’t just collect data; it transforms it into actionable insights. Our daily reports and web portal present you with a clear breakdown of vessel fuel consumption according to different activities undertaken each day. Whether your vessel is in transit, working on-site, or idling, you’ll have a detailed understanding of fuel usage patterns.
One of the standout features of our BareFLEET system is the ability to show fuel efficiency in litres per nautical mile versus boat speed. This metric is invaluable for identifying the most efficient operating speeds and recognising any efficiency loss due to issues such as hull fouling, or propeller damage. With access to this information, vessel operators can make informed decisions, based on accurate data, to optimise operational performance.
Using BareFLEET’s comprehensive data, you can target specific vessel activities for fuel savings. For most workboats and tugs, the voyage to and from the harbour to the worksite consumes the majority of fuel. By focusing on improving efficiency during these high-consumption activities, significant fuel savings can be made.
BareFLEET’s analytics portal allows for easy comparison of fuel efficiency and consumption across your entire fleet. With just one click of a button, you can benchmark performance and identify best practices across your entire fleet. This comparative analysis is vital for continuous improvement and achieving overall fuel reduction goals.
In summary, AST Reygar’s BareFLEET provides the detailed insights and tools necessary to monitor, understand, and reduce fuel consumption effectively. By leveraging accurate data and comprehensive reporting, vessel operators can make informed decisions that lead to significant fuel savings and improved overall operational efficiency.
