BlueWater Trade Winds reports that it has launched a production version of its BOSS LNG Sensor Dashboard, bringing cargo condition and vessel performance data from multiple equipment manufacturers together within a single operational view.
The dashboard standardises sensor data from different OEM systems by mapping equivalent tags across their APIs, allowing operators to compare readings consistently across vessels regardless of the underlying equipment.
The system provides real-time visibility of LNG tank pressure and temperature, cargo volume and boil-off gas, alongside tank-to-tank pressure comparisons. Operators can also check cargo conditions against terminal requirements before arrival and adjust voyage or cargo-handling instructions where necessary.
Machinery and energy monitoring functions cover main engine and generator loads, generator use, LNG consumption across propulsion and auxiliary systems, and data from cryogenic machinery, air lubrication systems and engine rooms.
Users can investigate individual sensors, compare trends between units and access the underlying tabular data behind dashboard charts.
“Across our vessels, the same cargo and machinery readings come from multiple OEM systems, each describing them in its own way,” said Capt Kumaresh Gupta, Managing Director of BlueWater Trade Winds.
“Our team mapped numerous tags from each OEM API against one another to build a single standard. That is what lets an operator see cargo condition in real time, check it against terminal requirements, and change voyage or cargo-handling instructions early if needed.”
The dashboard extends the BOSS platform, which also covers LNG voyage management and optimisation, emissions monitoring, commercial claims and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) prediction.
