Since 2019, Vestas, a global leader in sustainable energy solutions, has been utilising BareFLEET to enhance the efficiency and performance of its offshore wind operations. The system has been implemented across their CTV (Crew Transfer Vessel) and SOV (Service Operation Vessel) charter fleet, playing a critical role in daily decision-making and long-term operational strategy.
A Standard for Charter Vessels
BareFLEET’s value to Vestas is so well established that it has become a requirement for any long-term CTV charter to have the system installed. This ensures Vestas has consistent, high-quality data across its offshore fleet, enabling better vessel oversight and performance management.
“We’ve seen such a clear benefit from using BareFLEET that it’s now a standard requirement for any long-term CTV charter. It gives us visibility and consistency across the fleet, which is critical when you’re managing multiple operations and vessel suppliers.”
Tailored Features for Offshore Wind
Vestas primarily uses BareFLEET’s Telematics and Digital DPR (Daily Progress Report) features, which have been adapted specifically for CTV operations.
These tools provide:
- Daily summary of key operation metrics including transit motion sickness risk, turbine transfer performance scores and fuel consumption
- Digital crew logs, improving logbook accuracy and reducing admin time
- Real-time access to live vessel data for activity tracking
- Access to historical trend data through BareFLEET Analytics platform
Driving Data-Backed Decisions
The BareFLEET Analytics platform allows Vestas to compare vessel performance across their charter fleet, identifying trends, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement. In particular, they have seen significant value in comparing vessel transit and transfer performance, and fuel efficiency.
“BareFLEET Analytics has been especially useful for benchmarking vessel performance. We can directly compare things like fuel efficiency, transfer scores, and transit conditions across vessels and operators. That insight helps us make better chartering decisions and push for continuous improvement.”
Integration for the Future
Looking ahead, Vestas is taking the next step by integrating BareFLEET data directly into their internal systems using the platform’s robust API. This move will streamline data flows, enable deeper analytics, and further embed BareFLEET data into Vestas’ operational intelligence.
“Being able to pull BareFLEET data directly into our internal systems via the API is a big step forward. It means our operation data isn’t siloed – it becomes a part of a larger ecosystem that supports real-time decision making and strategic planning.”
Ready to Optimise Your Offshore Operations?
Vestas’ experience with BareFLEET is a strong example of how smart vessel monitoring and data integration can drive real value – from day-to-day operational efficiency to long-term fleet strategy. Whether you’re managing a single CTV or a global offshore fleet, BareFLEET from AST Reygar provides the tools and insights to take control of performance, safety and sustainability.
