German shipping company Harren Group is to adopt the VESPER performance management platform from Vessel Performance Solutions (VPS) across 30 vessels in its fleet.
Under the contract, the platform will be deployed across the designated vessels to automatically collect and process sensor data to generate performance reports, as well as compliance reports for environmental and emissions requirements.
“We are pleased to have found a highly experienced and well-established partner in VPS, who understands our requirements and provides an expert solution to support our goals of reducing GHG emissions and improving the energy efficiency of our fleet,” said Jan-Hendrik Dammann, Dep Fleet Manager at Harren Group.
The goal of the roll-out is to reduce the administrative workload for Harren’s crew, turning performance data into actionable insights that support decision-making. Both shore-based personnel and seafarers are expected to benefit from improved data quality and reduced time spent on manual checks following the deployment.
“At VPS, partnering with the Harren Group represents an important step in supporting their journey toward operational excellence and sustainability through digital transformation,” said Jesper Dalsgaard Rasmussen, Commercial Director of VPS.
“Our focus on integrating the human factor in digital solutions, combined with our expertise in naval architecture, makes this partnership especially valuable. Together, we will work closely to optimise vessel performance, administrative burdens, and support Harren in advancing their core business and sustainability goals.”
Vessel Performance Solutions is a subsidiary of Ascenz Marorka, which is itself part of GTT Group.
