The scope of the contract includes the installation of sensors, automatic data collection systems, and intelligent software for the management and optimisation of the vessel’s energy and environmental performance.

Antartica21 president Jaime Vasquez said: “The deployment of this new technology on board Magellan Explorer will allow us to benchmark our energy consumption, thereby assisting us in reducing emissions.”
