Supporting ships with Oversea

Ships are the mainstay of global trade. High efficiency and performance are paramount, both economically and in terms of emissions and sustainability. ABB’s Oversea platform provides shipping operators with the data and insights they need to take the best decisions and operate more efficiently and cleaner and sustainably.

Bulit on ABB’s industrial software platform, ABB Ability™ Genix, Oversea was developed by ABB and Wallenius Marine. This solution is customized for the shipping industry to improve a vessel’s operational sustainability, efficiency and safety. This is accomplished by providing ship operators with a scalable system and services for centralized support, providing a fleet support center as a service.

This groundbreaking comprehensive digital solution, designed by ship masters, chief engineers and remote support experts, focuses on three areas that influence operational performance: technical-, environmental- and voyage performance. Oversea Digital Solution collects, transforms, aggregates and contextualizes data, and visualizes it in an actionable way. Data is turned into insights and insights into actions that can be applied to a single vessel or an entire fleet, thanks to the Oversea Support Center.

Oversea’s underlying performance analysis enables a breakdown of the overall environmental performance into technical performance and voyage performance contributors; this enables the identification of under-performance and the appropriate corrective actions. Cutting-edge models, combining machine-learning and physics-based methods, are used to enable accurate results in all areas.

Ultimately, the Oversea Digital Solution is designed to connect vessels, client office and the fleet support center to enable collaboration, provide insights and real-time recommendations to turn insights into actions. In this way, ABB and Wallenius Marine are enabling the shipping industry to achieve optimal operational performance while reducing emissions for a more efficient and sustainable future.
