Going further for GESCO
$45,000 saved in fuel per day and per vessel
The customer
India’s largest private ship owners, The Great Eastern Shipping Company (GESCO), owns and operates bulk carriers, tankers and offshore supply vessels.
The task
GESCO had been measuring its fleet engine performance manually each month, which was both time-consuming and costly. With a growing fleet, GESCO needed a more effective digital solution to analyze engine data and identify specific problems so they could be resolved quickly.
How we went further
We initially installed our intelligent engine performance diagnostics and advisory system Tekomar XPERT (now known as Tekomar XPERT marine) on two GESCO vessels, with the objective of rolling out Tekomar XPERT fleetwide if it successfully optimized engine performance. The Accelleron team also provided round-the-clock support to ensure recommendations were prioritized and executed.
Results
GESCO achieved savings worth $45,000 with Tekomar XPERT, meaning that the system effectively paid for itself in only 20 days. As a result of this success 46 more tankers and bulk carriers were installed with the engine performance software.
Key results
- $45,000 saved in fuel per day and per vessel
- 46 more tankers and bulk carriers installed with engine performance software
- 20 days for Tekomar XPERT to pay for itself
