Smart Ship Hub (SSH), a maritime intelligence and data platform, has introduced a new universal onboard data logger, priced at less than $600. This product aims to drastically lower the financial and operational barriers associated with digitalizing vessels. The Onboard Gateway is designed to collect high-frequency operational data from critical ship components, including main engines, diesel generators, MOP systems, boilers, and flow meters.
This development is significant for freight forwarders and operations managers as it promises to make real-time vessel performance data more accessible and affordable. Increased data availability can lead to improved schedule reliability, better fuel efficiency, and enhanced predictive maintenance, potentially reducing unexpected delays and operational costs. For forwarders, this could translate into more accurate ETA predictions and better capacity planning, ultimately improving service to shippers.
