Maritime companies globally are moving from traditionally managed legacy processes to technology augmented experiences. High frequency sensor data together with legacy process data and vessel manuals and dry dock and maintenance updates, form the foundation for rich data driven intelligence. SSH's proprietary IOT gateway has the ability to fetch data from any kind of machinery and equipment such as main engine, diesel generators, flow meters, pumps, scrubbers, boilers, Bridge and Navigation systems, cargo etc, and create a rich source of high quality data that is at the foundation of AI-driven ship management practices.
By doing so, it frees up resources, optimises vessel utilisation, enhances efficiencies and ensures compliance while reporting significant cost savings.
"With Nakakita as SSH's shareholder, we will bring in the agility and flexibility of a digital platform while maintaining the same quality and support that Nakakita has been known for, for decades," said
