INTERSCHALT maritime systems AG, a provider of maritime software for cargo and fleet management, presented its enhanced solution for ship performance monitoring, reporting, and analysis software to industry professionals at the 5th International Conference on Ship Efficiency in Hamburg, Germany.
The Bluetracker package from INTERSCHALT covers all the current requirements related to the efficiency management of a ship or entire fleet. Automatic data collection on board has been expanded to include an integrated manual reporting solution: Bluetracker[express].
Bluetracker[express] facilitates manual entry of all relevant consumption indicators on board and prepares the data in a standardised manner for further analysis on shore.
A predefined event matrix, guided data input, and integrated plausibility check not only minimise errors, but also ensure that reports are completely filled out and thus guarantee the data quality required for comparative analyses.
With the enhanced software version Bluetracker[express], the core elements of the Bluetracker software comprise manual and automatic data collection, as well as monitoring, analysis and visualisation of the collected data. The system also offers functions for optimising a ship’s trim and consumptions.
Robert Gärtner, CEO of INTERSCHALT, explained: “Bluetracker combines options for checking consumption and increasing efficiency. The ship owner and manager can access all ship and consumption data via a web browser worldwide and at any time, meaning that sustainable strategies for optimising performance can be developed.”
He added: “Bluetracker[express] is embedded in this structure and expands previous options to include manual reporting on board. Only a standardised and error-free data collection enables a reliable evaluation and analysis within fleets, ship classes, or routes.”
