RINA’s InfoSHIP EGO performance monitoring system adopted by d’Amico fleet
International
classification society RINA Services is to fit RINA’s InfoSHIP EGO performance
monitoring system to d’Amico Group’s entire fleet. The first units will be
installed on two newbuildings under construction in Korea and China, one tanker
and one bulk carrier. The system will be progressively extended across the d’Amico
fleet.
InfoSHIP EGO is the
fleet performance monitoring solution developed by RINA Services in cooperation
with IB Software and Consulting. The software has different modules that allow
it to automatically collect data on board and benchmark the actual performance
of the ship against a target.
Michele Francioni,
CEO, RINA Services, says, “InfoSHIP EGO will be customized for the d’Amico
fleet to meet the company’s specific reporting needs. RINA Services’ Marine Innovation
team and d’Amico’s Fleet Performance Department will cooperate for the
customization of InfoSHIP EGO and the deployment across the fleet of the most
advanced and effective energy governance solution in the shipping market.”
Salvatore d’Amico, Fleet
Director, d’Amico Group, says, “The EGO system is expected to be a valued tool,
it will assist d’Amico to monitor emissions and to optimize vessel speed and
consumption. Through the EGO system we expect to achieve an accurate monitoring
and speed /consumption analysis which will allow our company to identify
operational practices and retrofits for continuous improvement of vessel performance.
Overall savings in the order of 3 – 5 per cent are expected. This investment is
part of our continuing strategy to improve energy management throughout our
operations.”
The d’Amico Group,
which is investing in an important eco-ship newbuilding programme, makes
constant efforts in technological development, leading the international energy
efficiency standards that all maritime transport operators will have to comply with
by 2025.
