Developments with digital modelling for maritime in Norway

There may be better outcomes from maritime digitalisation projects if technologies can be designed, or modelled, around business goals and processes. In this webinar we'll explore that looks like, with cases studies of dry dock planning and monitoring animal transport by ships.
VesselMan, based in Oslo, has built a process and project management platform to support the planning and execution of a vessel dry docking and other technical projects. Dry dock costs are a major component of a vessel's lifetime operational expenditure, and we hear that cost overruns of 20-30 per cent are common.
A great deal of expert human judgement is involved in the decision making, which means that people benefit from having easy access to the best possible information, focusing on building high quality specifications with detailed scope of work. This enables more precise quotes from yards, inspecting and clarify the condition of the vessel to reduce the number of variation orders - which again can reduce the total amount spent on the project. There is also a big opportunity to reduce man hours spent on building the specification, tracking progress at the yard as well as finalizing reports.
Scandinavian Reach Technologies (ScanReach), based just outside Bergen, utilised their onboard wireless connectivity solution for supporting shipboard and shore staff to monitor the conditions of live animals (cattle) being transported by ship. Crew are provided with alerts and comprehensive information, covering showing temperature, humidity, wet bulb temperature, ammonia levels and air flow, with data gathered using wireless communications communicating through the ship’s hull and sensors. Already utilised in on a number of other vessels.
Our speakers are Dan Slater, VP sales and business development, ScanReach and Lene Normann Olsen, Chief Commercial Officer of VesselMan.
