utiliVisor, a leading energy advisory firm providing central utility plant oversight and energy metering services, has launched a marine division aimed at helping the marine industry to reduce fuel consumption while increasing the efficiency of their vessels.
“With fuel now accounting for an increasingly higher percentage of a vessel’s operating costs, ship owners and operators are looking for ways to improve efficiency,” said Tim Angerame, a Director at utiliVisor. “We offer a proven solution that can achieve real savings, with minimal capital investment required. Our platform is technology and product agnostic, which means owners receive energy saving advice independent of any particular equipment manufacturer.”
The utiliVisor service for the maritime industry includes:
Baseline analysis of a ship's energy operating costs with “real time” data derived from a ship’s system, utilizing utiliVisor's state of the art web advisory service.
Analysis of energy savings solutions for each vessel based on the utiliVisor product diagnostic approach.
Engineering solutions that can be immediately measured, verified and easily operated by all parties concerned with the efficiency and profitability of the vessel's operation.
Daily fuel usage and voyage reports that are generated with real-time data.
Assisting fuel purchase decisions with fuel consumption predictions based on history and forecast operations.
Data reports to help validate emission regulation compliance. (CO2, NOX and SOX).
Built on open standards, the utiliVisor platform can be tailored to analyze a variety of maritime vessels. The goal is to leverage existing systems to reduce energy plant costs and to provide the operations team with the data and support needed to make decisions that will ultimately save fuel. Independent energy analysis will be provided by utiliVisor’s team of licensed marine engineers and energy analysts. Based on the information generated, the team can track performance and recommend new energy cost saving solutions to greatly improve the efficiency of the vessel. Continuous monitoring services also provide the reporting necessary for vessels to meet all environmental requirements.
Founded in 1978, utiliVisor offers comprehensive energy monitoring and advisory services for the marine industry, providing accurate, reliable solutions to boost the fuel efficiency of vessels. The utiliVisor system is a web-based, networked solution, built on open standards, that works in real time to collect and format data, monitor operations and equipment errors, and deliver oversight via web-based alerts and alarms.
