to-wake emissions reporting %u2013 which is used to report on emissions for the EU ETS as well as the IMO%u2019s Data Collection System %u2013 the new WtW function enables ship operators to fully account for different types and sources of fuels. This is an essential part of any reporting solution for FuelEU Maritime, which came into effect at the start of this year. With full insight into a vessel%u2019s baseline efficiency and actual performance %u2013 particularly fuel use and emissions %u2013 operators can benefit from several other cost reduction measures that digital solutions afford. Accelleron%u2019s solution, for example, can monitor hull and propeller fouling, providing recommendations for the best time to schedule hull cleaning to reduce drag. It can also assemble and validate voyage reports, CII forecasts, and reports on emissions for a variety of regulators.Securing the supply chainEnsuring that vessels are running optimally is just one aspect of an efficient maritime business. The capability to plan and execute the most efficient voyages %u2013 and, based on that, organise the optimal use of the overall fleet %u2013 is equally important. And when confronting the challenges of today%u2019s fragile, just-in-time global logistics networks, it is vital.True North Marine%u2019s voyage optimisation and weather routing capabilities help secure the supply chain for some of the world%u2019s biggest charterers. A prime example is Airbus, which has its own fleet of Ro-Ro carriers dedicated to delivering components from across Europe to assembly plants in Toulouse, France, and Alabama in the US.But even a company as big as Airbus can%u2019t control the weather, and the volatile North Atlantic is a major potential source of production disruption. True North Marine has been working closely in the last several years with Airbus%u2019 chosen shipping partner, LD Seaplane, to ensure that vessels make it to their destinations safely and within their respective schedules. While LD addresses the transportation challenges for Airbus, we help manage some of the unavoidable risks involved.This is about more than software. Any supply chain hinges on effective communication between parties, and True North Marine has built strong relationships with a crucial link %u2013 the ship captains %u2013 to help LD Seaplane avoid delays. That human element is crucial, even when using intelligent digital systems, whether you are avoiding weather or troubleshooting engines.A winning combinationAccelleron%u2019s recent acquisition of True North Marine means we can combine the benefits of engine expertise, routing capabilities, and all the domain knowledge that goes into using those systems in the best way. As an example, Accelleron%u2019s digital solutions can provide operators with an annual forecast of fuel cost and emissions for the next year based on anticipated fleet utilisation. This provides the tools operators need to plan and budget for fuel, emissions, and operating costs. With these reports, they can calculate compliance balances and penalties in advance, enabling informed decisions on EU allowance purchasing, for example, or the pooling, borrowing or banking of FuelEU Maritime surpluses.When you layer routing expertise on top of deep insights into vessel performance, you have the basis for long-term operational, commercial, and investment planning. But to translate this into truly effective decisions, human expertise is essential. At Accelleron, this is part-and-parcel of our digital offering. We bring deep domain expertise to technical and commercial operations, keeping in close communication with our clients as they use these digital insights.With digital solutions spanning technical and commercial operations, Accelleron combines advanced technology with expert consultancy to maximise efficiency, enhance performance, reduce emissions, and increase profitability, all in one place. A simple, comprehensive solution that delivers efficiency, financial predictability, strategic insight, and a unique vision of how an integrated digital approach can drive value for ship operators.There are several important steps to implementing an integrated digital strategy, but the starting point is understanding the real performance of your vessels right now. In a scenario where many unknowns remain, focusing on what we can know is essential.Digitalisation224 NX
