Great Eastern Shipping Co. Ltd. (GESCO), India's largest private fleet owner of bulkers and tankers, has partnered with Smart Ship© Hub (SSH) to implement an advanced digital platform across its entire fleet .
GESCO is leveraging SSH's 'all-in-one' digital platform to enable real-time condition-based monitoring of all vessels and key machinery. By harnessing advanced analytic and intelligent automation, the digital platform allows for continuous tracking of vessel and machinery health, facilitating proactive intervention and reducing maintenance costs. Automated performance-based alerts and alarms also ensure optimal vessel operation which minimizes the risks of unexpected breakdowns.
Predictive diagnostics, powered by AI-driven analytics, is providing data-driven intelligence that enhancing the asset life cycles, reducing downtime, resulting in more cost-effective maintenance.
The implementation of SSH's digital platform modules cover key operational areas, including main engine health monitoring to ensure peak performance and efficiency, diesel generator management to enhance reliability, fuel efficiency through predictive analytics, and hull and propeller performance optimisation to improve hydrodynamic efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
Fuel performance tracking is enabling effective fuel utilisation and lower emissions, while safety and compliance monitoring ensure regulatory adherence and risk mitigation. Additionally, the platform’s carbon footprint management provides exact emissions tracking for GESCO to meet the latest global environmental standards.
One of the key outcomes of the partnership between GESCO and Singapore-based Smart Ship Hub is the shift towards digital maturity. By integrating SSH's platform all vessel data is aggregated into a single, unified source of truth. This standardisation improves operational reporting, aligns insights for both commercial and technical teams, and enhancing decision-making across the organisation.
