VOYAGE OPTIMISATION PLATFORM

VOYAGE OPTIMISATION PLATFORM 

The following Product Terms shall apply to the Solution Voyage Optimisation Platform. 

Description of the Solution 

Supplier’s Voyage Optimisation Platform enables consistent TCE optimisation by providing actionable insights and recommendations prior to a vessel’s departure and enroute. With the Voyage Optimisation Platform, operators can improve the bottom line with complete transparency on CO2 emission. Also, algorithmic weather routing is an integral part of the Solution, which means that voyage optimisation and weather safety go hand in hand. Day by day, the Voyage Optimisation Platform makes it easy for operation teams to identify which vessels are performing and which are not.

Supplier’s Voyage Optimisation Platform is an advanced piece of software that enables voyage optimisation by algorithmically crunching a lot of data points such as fuel tables, AIS, weather forecasts, market rates and bunker prices. By continuously monitoring the vessel and processing this data, the Solution makes sure that the operator is up-to-date on the vessel and whether it is proceeding optimally. If not, the operator is notified and prompted to re-optimise and send new instructions to the vessel.

The Voyage Optimisation Platform includes an emission optimization module, which is a Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) analysis, which together with optimisation enables users to access real-time monitoring of CII-related performance, simulate future CII rating and recommend voyage routing options to improve or maintain vessel rating and competitive advantage, as well as save emissions and USD.

Technical requirements 

Customer is responsible for delivery of data (see below) to Supplier or making the data readily available for Supplier through APIs, SFTPs or similar as instructed by Supplier.

The noon reports must include (i) all of the consumptions from Customer's vessel per grade (ME, generators, boilers, etc.), and (ii) beaufort/wind speed and reported distance over ground. All types of noon reports are required, including but not limited to sea, port, arrival and departure.

 

If additional data is required for the Solution, Supplier will inform Customer.

Customer must have a valid subscription to Voyage Optimisation Platform to use the add-on modules.   

IMOS INTEGRATION MODULE 

The following Product Terms apply to the add-on module IMOS Integration Module which is a part of the Solution Voyage Optimisation Platform, if the IMOS Integration Module is purchased by Customer.

Description of the add-on module  

The IMOS Integration Module enables Customer to integrate data that is maintained within the Veson IMOS Platform ("IMOS Platform") (provided by Veson Nautical LLC ("Veson")) with the Voyage Optimisation Platform. Supplier and Veson will rely on Veslink API to access Customer’s master data, as well as voyages, including voyage itinerary data and voyage activity report data. The Veslik API provides a set of calls to access data from the IMOS Platform database on a per client basis, delivering data for vessels, fuel, and ports. For data that is not provided by the Veslink API, Veson has developed an additional API endpoint that delivers query results to Supplier for voyage itinerary and voyage activity report information. Requests made to any endpoints that are made available are expected to happen as frequently as hourly. 

The IMOS Integration Module may be further developed at Supplier's sole discretion. 

Technical requirements 

Customer is required to have purchased a license for the IMOS Platform prior to its subscription to the IMOS Integration Module as well as any required API licenses under a separate agreement with Veson.
