Danish shipping company Clipper Group developed COACH’s vessel performance monitoring system and, in 2016, it was established as COACH Solutions.
The company’s software has more than 900 licences running.
COACH provides a suite of tools for vessel performance, weather routing and noon reporting to vessel operators, owners, pool managers and technical managers.
The solutions will enable customers to improve energy consumption and receive weather routing, which will be more environmentally friendly and will help to cut costs.
