An entry-level system to collect vessel performance data from on board ships has been launched by ABB for owners that have yet to go digital.
The Swiss engineering group said its ABB Ability OneBox — Marine Signals Monitoring system will transfer signals from shipboard sensors to cloud infrastructure for access and analysis by shipowners.
It is aimed at meeting growing market demand for a straightforward entry to digitalisation, ABB said, pushed in part by the need to decarbonise shipping,
Increased insight into and reporting of ships' performance is becoming required by regulation to reduce CO2 emissions by cutting fuel consumption.
