Accelleron customers will gain easier access to data-driven performance improvements and cost reductions thanks to a new partnership with maritime data platform provider Bemac.
Under the agreement signed with Accelleron’s Japanese joint venture company Turbo Systems United, data gathering and transmission for Accelleron’s digital optimisation solutions and data-enabled service agreements will be automated within Bemac’s MaSSA-One platform. Accelleron’s Turbo Insights is set to be used on approximately 30 vessels currently utilising the MaSSA-One platform, while data handling for Turbo MarineCare service agreements is conducted through the platform on two vessels.
Bemac Corporate Officer and Device & Communication Segment Manager, Hideyuki Terada said: “Our role is to provide the users with the stable operations of the ship IoT platform to utilise the ship data effectively. By combining our standardised infrastructure with Accelleron’s digital solutions, we are confident that we are coming one step closer to achieve our ideal of ‘a ship that never stops’.”
The MaSSA-One platform has become a core part of Bemac’s portfolio of ship technologies alongside its power distribution and control systems. The platform collects and stores data from engines, cargo handling and navigation, and shares the data with shoreside services to provide ship support applications. Linking with MaSSA-One streamlines and automates the acquisition and transmission of data for Accelleron services.
Turbo Systems United Executive Director, SVP and Head of New Product Sales Yoshimasa Wakasa said: “We are pleased to be able to collaborate with Bemac in the digital field as a business partner through this agreement. The role of digital solutions is growing. Working with partners like Bemac, Accelleron is committed to removing connectivity challenges. We are confident that the new, seamless access to Accelleron’s digital capabilities via MaSSA-One will enable a smooth transition to maritime digitalisation and contribute to efficient operations.”
