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.
