Seattle-based software company ioCurrents has entered into a strategic partnership with Norwegian engine manufacturer Bergen Engines to expand its ioCurrents’ MarineInsight platform, it was announced in November.
The agreement pairs Bergen Engines’ know-how in bringing to market high-performance medium speed engines and power systems with ioCurrents’ modern data analytics, the companies said.
It allows Bergen to offer the platform as “a value-added solution to customers in new builds, repowers, and overhauls, leveraging real-time data analytics to optimize vessel performance,” according to the announcement.
“This partnership with ioCurrents marks an important step forward for Bergen Engines as we continue to provide cutting-edge solutions to our customers,” Bergen Engines head of sales, marine Kjell Harloff said. “MarineInsight’s ability to deliver actionable insights in real time will complement our power solutions, ensuring optimized performance which can reduce fuel consumption, cost and emission.”
The platform uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning to create predictive analytics as well as insights for optimizing fuel use and maintenance strategies, according to ioCurrents.
“We’re proud to partner with Bergen Engines,” ioCurrents CEO Will Roberts said. “This partnership allows us to extend MarineInsight’s reach across the globe and offer vessel owners and operators a comprehensive solution. Together, we’re helping the maritime industry achieve greater efficiency and sustainability.”
