Optimising Fuel Efficiency with AST Reygar’s BareFLEET System

Reducing fuel consumption has become a top priority in the maritime sector, not only for economic reasons, but also as part of the industry’s commitment to sustainability. AST Reygar’s BareFLEET system offers vessel operators a powerful tool to monitor and minimise fuel usage effectively. Here’s how BareFLEET delivers real-time, measurable results:

Gaining Visibility into Fuel Usage

Understanding your current fuel consumption is the first step toward improvement. BareFLEET delivers precise data by capturing fuel usage from engine ECUs or flow meters on both a vessels engines and gensets. This critical performance data creates a foundation for crafting targeted fuel-saving strategies.

Turning Data into Actionable Insights

BareFLEET’s daily reports and web portal go beyond raw data, offering a detailed breakdown of fuel consumption across operational activities. Whether vessels are transiting, on-site, or idling, operators gain valuable insights into where fuel is being consumed, helping to identify opportunities for optimisation.

Fuel Efficiency Metrics That Drive Change

A standout feature of BareFLEET is its ability to calculate fuel efficiency in litres per nautical mile vs boat speed. This analysis highlights optimal operating speeds and flags efficiency losses caused by issues such as hull fouling, skipper behaviour, or damaged propellers. Armed with this knowledge, operators can make informed adjustments to enhance vessel performance.

Targeting High-Impact Areas for Savings

BareFLEET’s granular data allows operators to focus on specific activities where fuel consumption is highest. For many workboats and tugs, voyages between harbours and worksites are the most fuel heavy. Optimising these operations can yield substantial cost savings and reduced environmental impact.

Benchmarking Fleet-Wide Performance

BareFLEET’s advanced analytics portal enables easy comparison of fuel efficiency across an entire fleet. With just a click, operators can benchmark performance, identify top-performing vessels and skippers, and replicate best practices, fostering continuous improvement and alignment with fuel reduction goals.

In summary, AST Reygar’s BareFLEET empowers operators with insights and tools needed to monitor, manage, and reduce fuel consumption across their fleets. By harnessing accurate data and comprehensive reporting, significant efficiency gains and cost savings are within reach.

Coming Soon: The BareFLEET Fuel App
Stay tuned to learn how BareFLEET’s upcoming Fuel App will enable skippers to achieve real-time fuel efficiency targets, taking fuel management to the next level.

ExploMar Targets Larger Commercial Vessels with New 400HP Electric Outboard ExploMar, a technology company specialising in high-performance electric marine propulsion systems, will offer an early look at its upcoming 400HP electric outboard at METSTRADE 2026, taking place from 17–19 November at RAI Amsterdam (Booth 05.501). The new model signals the company's expansion into higher-power propulsion solutions for larger commercial vessels and more demanding marine operations. Designed to deliver greater power and performance, the 400HP electric outboard aims to extend the potential of electric propulsion across a wider range of commercial applications, including passenger transport, workboats and other vessel operations where performance and operational efficiency are key considerations. ExploMar's existing electric outboard range spans 100HP to 300HP and is already used across fishing boats, passenger ferries, tour boats, patrol boats and aquaculture support vessels. Experience gained from deploying these systems in diverse marine environments has helped establish the company's position in the commercial electric propulsion market and provides a platform for expanding into higher-powered applications. The 400HP model is scheduled to make its official debut at the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show (CIBS) in March 2027, following its preview at METSTRADE 2026. Its introduction will further broaden ExploMar's offering to vessel owners and operators exploring electric propulsion for larger and more demanding commercial fleets.
