FINLAND's provider of real-time decision support systems to provide cost savings in the shipping industry, Eniram Limited, recently opened a Singapore office to serve Asia where many shipping companies are based.
"With the prices of marine fuel continuing to soar, we have a lot to offer ship operators who believe that the ability to produce tangible savings is of paramount importance," said Eniram CEO Philip Padfield.
"Singapore was a clear choice for us as it is not only one of the premier global hubs for shipping but has also made clear its intention to be a hub for green shipping in the region," he said.
"Our solutions target fuel consumption, using techniques such as dynamic trim optimisation to fine-tune the way their fleets move through the water. On average this can lead to savings per vessel of up to US$300,000 per year on a VLCC or mid-size container vessel, and in some cases much more," Mr Padfield said.
The company, which has offices in Fort Lauderdale and in London, develops onboard applications, performance management and analytics solutions that help owners and captains better operate their ships towards reduced fuel consumption and improved overall vessel efficiency.
Eniram offers a range of products designed to enhance efficiency and provides analytics and measurement tools to enable ship operators to determine where they are achieving savings. This includes speed management and dynamic trim optimisation, both of which significantly affect the amount of fuel consumed on a ship's voyage and can each result in measured savings often in excess of three per cent.
The company last year won Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Finland awards for being the fastest growing greentech company in Finland and it' s has also been shortlisted for this year' s Technical Innovation Award at the Seatrade Asia Awards.
