ZeroNorth launches high-frequency data in vessel reporting to improve data quality and transparency

ZeroNorth has launched a new high-frequency data feature for Vessel Reporting, designed to improve the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of noon reports.

Traditionally, noon reports are compiled manually by crew, which is both time-consuming and prone to errors and inconsistencies. Missing or incomplete performance data can affect everything from emissions compliance and fuel cost calculations to contractual trust between owners and charterers, making the need for reliable, high-quality data increasingly critical under tightening regulatory and commercial demands.

With this new release, key performance fields in the noon report can now be automatically pre-filled using sensor data from the vessel. The data is cleaned, filtered, and aggregated by ZeroNorth before being surfaced in Vessel Reporting in a digestible format. Vessel crews can still overwrite the fields, but any changes are visible to shore teams – improving trust and transparency. For customers, this means a faster and more reliable reporting process: reporting is expedited by reducing manual input, data quality is enhanced by lowering the risk of human error, and crews retain flexibility by mixing pre-populated sensor data with manual entries where needed.

ZeroNorth’s solution is the first in the industry that can incorporate multiple sensor providers and cloud connections into one solution to fit the need of a full fleet, enabling operators to benefit regardless of their onboard systems. This is especially valuable for charterers managing large, mixed fleets across different owners. 

“As regulatory requirements tighten, the need for accurate and transparent vessel data has never been greater,” says Bjørn Ørving, VP of Product Innovation Operations at ZeroNorth. “This feature directly addresses that challenge by reducing manual reporting effort, improving data quality, and ensuring that owners, charterers, and crews can trust the information they rely on to make decisions.”

This release builds on ZeroNorth’s work on improving data quality across the industry. Earlier this year, the company launched an industry-first Data Health Score to help customers measure and improve their reporting. Together, these initiatives support the industry’s efforts to leverage reliable data for optimisation, decarbonisation and compliance.
